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.

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"...

I resent bald faced lies told to me by my government with my tax dollars
too. But the ones I resent are the ones that lead to the deaths of
thousands of American soldiers. It's my tax money too. But that will
get us off the track, won't it.

As for the "bad choices", name three "bad choices" you had to make
because of these lies.

I am forced to pay my government more than Mary, me,
and all of our other employees COMBINED make each year.

Maybe you should pay your employees more.

Seriously. Do Mary and your employees keep your hotel safe from warring
infidels? From maurauding looters? Do they supply you with clean water
and weather data for you to give out free to your clients? Did they
build you a runway and an air traffic control system so that people
could fly into your hotel? Did they do any scientific research? Did
they build the internet? Did they ensure that the future voters get an
education, and actually deliver it? If they did, then maybe they
=would= deserve more money than the governmnet. Yanno, you jump up and
down about being patriotic, but you don't appreciate at all what this
country has done for you, first and foremost, to give you the chance to
build your business in the first place.

If you'd like to be further sickened...

That doesn't make me sick. It is the price of being a citizen of this
Great Country. It doesn't come free. It is not an entitlement. What
makes me sick is people who whine that they shouldn't have to pay for
these things.

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.

Don't be silly. All I have to do is look at the salaries of American
workers, and the salaries of Chinese workers doing the same thing.

...taxation without any evidence that it's occurring.

Inflation is the biggest scam here. Think about what it means to buy
something, have its value go up exactly in line with inflation, and then
sell it. You make a huge profit, but are in the same position as
before. And you pay tax on this paper profit with real money. Yes,
there are scams in government. Private enterprise is not free of scams,
and neither are private individuals.

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.

It is not at all crap, which is why you can't address it. Do you
=really= disagree with the statement: "Left to their own devices,
businesses do not care a whit about their surroundings, except inasmuch
as it affects their bottom line."?

Business exists for one purpose only: To make money.

Taxes are hidden in your heat and electric bills, sanitation, water and
sewer bills, and your phone bills.
