One my more skilled employees has a husband with MS (is on expensive drugs) Could be as simple as that employee being careless setting their exemptions. Maybe they get big refunds each April because they overpay during the year. By the way, do you offer a sec 125 cafe plan so they can buy those drugs pre-tax? -- Ben Jackson AD7GD http://www.ben.com/ |

You don't say so, but I assume that this "lesser skilled" employee works full time. What's broken is clearly a salary structure that does not allow a working person to support herself and her child above the poverty line. Meanwhile, CEOs and upper management draw salaries that are almost unimaginable, and the gap is rapidly growing. -Elliott Drucker |

Well of course the system is broken and you have pointed out exactly why. Things will not get better unless some serious reform is enacted. A flat tax, or a national sales tax would be an excellent start. It won't do doodly squat! What is your suggestion? |
