Default Dress Code

Yanno, I can see you don't like the impediments the government puts in
front of you as a business trying to do your thing. It can lead to alot
of resentment, because you don't get to do what you want, and what you
"know is right".


Darned right it does. I am daily faced with having to make bad choices
because of the bald-faced lies that are sold to us under the guise of
"government services", and then am forced to pay exorbitant taxes to
that same government so that they may perpetuate these lies upon their
ignorant citizenry.

Think about this: I am forced to pay my government more than Mary, me,
and all of our other employees COMBINED make each year. That's right,
the highest paid entitity in our little business isn't the employees,
it isn't the mean old power company, it isn't the rich-jerk-off bank --
it's our GOVERNMENT.

That is sick, and wrong, and needs to change.

And those taxes have gone up 10% each year since we opened four years
ago. That's not a typo. TEN PERCENT ANNUALLY.

If you'd like to be further sickened, here is a list of the taxes we
pay every day:

- Sales: 5%
- Hotel/Motel: 7%
- Property tax $6000 per MONTH
- Federal income tax withholding from our employees
- Federal payroll tax
- Social Security income tax withholding from our employees
- Social Security payroll tax.
- Medicare withholding from our employees
- Medicare payroll tax
- Federal Unemployment Tax
- Iowa Workforce Development tax (unemployment in disguise)
- 5% sales tax on anything and everything else we buy
- Motor vehicle tax on all fuel

But I suspect that the rest of the citizens really
appreciate the restraints you are under, because left to their own
devices, businesses do not care a whit about their surroundings, except
inasmuch as it affects their bottom line.


Yes, I'm sure they appreciate the fact that all of this money is being
extorted from them in ways that are diabolically invisible to them.
Our government has become experts at running the biggest scam in
history -- taxation without any evidence that it's occurring. But it
IS occurring, and it's causing great harm to all of us.

If you ever REALLY want to know why our economy is stuck in the
doldrums, or why all the good jobs have gone overseas, go back and
re-read that list of taxes, above.

It is =private=business= that is lining their pockets and perpetuating
their own existence.


That is such crap, I can't even begin to address it. Your concept of
what private businesses can and cannot do is so warped, I couldn't
possibly know where to start in an argument about it.
