I highly agree. I think that withholdings are themselves quite immoral: either stealing from the employee, or forcing the employer to perpetrate fraud.
Make EVERYONE write a quarterly check to the IRS. There would be a tax revolt!
I'd be happy if it were yearly, or twice a year.
Yes, I realize that people would crap their pants over a yearly one... for the first few years; but that's only because they've been conditioned not to think about the future WRT finances.
I once asked a friend how much he made. He said, “Well, I take home,,,,,” He really didn’t pay attention to how much was being taken from him. Another had more withheld than required, cuz he liked the big rebate check!
Interest-free loan to the government: they must really love that sucker.
“I’d be happy if it were yearly, or twice a year.”
I still think quarterly would force action on tax reform more quickly. People would freak! They’d demand reform, and they demand the govt. cut spending radically.
