(7,393 posts)Give me a list of all the different taxes I pay at the specific percentages. Don't miss any now. Also list all the government fees. Keep in mind that I run a service business and 90% of my costs are labor.
When you're done with that give me a list of all the tax breaks I can take advantage of. If you can come up with one I'll fire my CPA and hire you.
I don't believe you've ever owned an actual business that employs anyone except yourself. You can call being self employed a "business" I guess, but you really don't seem to understand what running a real business costs.
The problem many Democratic voters have is that they want workers treated well, but hate the small businesses that bust their ass to do that. You think we should sacrifice our lives working our tails off and give 90% of the revenue to workers and half the profit to the government.
WE DONT NEED TO RAISE TAXES. We need to make multi billion dollar companies pay some.
