unbelievable
talk about killing small business.
” unbelievable “
Unfortunately, all-too-believable...
America next. Paychecks to government first and you receive the leftovers, it there are any.
Sure, just make certain to skip the gasoline.
Global warming, donchya know.
And then we can increase the chocolate ration from 12 grams a week to 7 grams a week!
we make the employer pay for the accounting.
if you think it is only the brits bending over, take a look at your pay stub.
our system is more streamlined.
Taxman, Mr Wilson...
Taxman, Mr Heath.
First against the wall? Screw the lawyers... The Tax man!
Don't these lug nuts get it that this is a very good way to start a revolution?
What could possibly go wrong?
Just imagine 100% of all payroll dollars/pounds flowing through the politicians' fingers weekly!
Let them go ahead and try that here and we can get the Revolution over with and move on.
I think this is funny at many levels. What are they going to do with the Sharia business that operates under its own jurisdiction?
nothin’
LOL!!!
Taxes serve two purposes. The first is the obvious one, to pay for legitimate government functions. The second is to force the taxpayer to be aware of the cost of the government they have voted for.
If a government insists upon being the national paymaster, it will totally obscure to the worker his total compensation, and the cost of government. None of this is constructive to liberty. It is fascism by proxy.
In the US, we have taken a similar tack: government has assumed the power to be informed of all business relationships in excess of $600 via filing of the IRS Form 1099.
Both of these measures are significant expansions of government snooping and taxation powers. Given the traditions and structure of British government, it will be more difficult for their citizens to reverse this course of action than it will be in the US. As horrible as the Obama agenda is, the Brits appear to be subject of a greater hatred of liberty than we are.
So everyone will be on the dole only some will be working, why bother? s/
Britain needs its own revolution.
Allow me to add that if you read the CNBC article, at the end, all that a citizen’s group can say is to suggest that it is just too big of a job for government to handle. This is the pitiful condition that Statism has left the average UK citizen in. Where is the appeal to liberty and privacy? Where is the demand that government show proper respect to its citizens? No, such complains are from the level of someone who has already accepted his serfdom.
November or Never, lest this outrage happen here!
Everyone in the USofA gets a rubber stamp that says “US Treasury”.
Instead of writing checks to anybody, you simply stamp “US Treasury” on the “Pay To The Order Of”, then write in the real payee in the Note line at the bottom of the check.
The Treasury then receives the check, takes their cut, and forwards the remains to the person/company on the Note line.
Very simple...
Who says it would be a Dem? Both party's have proven their tendency to over-tax and over-spend.
