LOL!
You go on thinking what you want to think. And I’ll go on being unimpressed with your bluster and your ignorance.
Any poster here proclaiming self employed folks are not double taxed on social security versus those who work for an employer and then goes on to proclaim matter of factly that increased business costs are simply passed on to the consumer like no biggie proves succinctly they don't own their own business and are regurgitating Non Real World B School theory
Why do you think a CPA calls it self employment tax?.....duh because that's what it is.
Man I wish all costs could be passed on....hell nobody would ever go broke and we'd all live on Big Rock Candy Mountain
