You never can be fully honest, can you?
Yes, I know you're using the 9% figure for embedded taxes on these threads for the purposes of paying or removing embedded taxes. I told you I didn't disagree with this, didn't I?
But that 9% is from a total of 22% embedded taxes. An employer could choose to keep more than 9% for the purposes of paying or removing embedded taxes, couldn't he?
Yeah, 9% is about what he could reduce prices if businesses were happy earning the same amount. But with his employees pocketing more money and prices going up, will business owners be happy to just maintain their same profits? Seems like a cute way to assume business owners will see their purchasing power decrease.
But that 9% is from a total of 22% embedded taxes.You completely misunderstand pigdogese. The 22% figure is last month's lie, the 9% figure is this months and this month the 22% figure never existed...Get with the program.
"... You never can be fully honest, can you? ..."
Well, ONE of us can't - but it's not me. As I told you I see no more coming out of the 22% figure you quote although more may come out of other places to help reduce prices, I seriously doubt that it will come out of that you call the 22% (which I call 23%) from the income tax/payroll tax withholdings since I doubt that even those firms who do not have union (or other) employment agreements (try the government for example or a large school system) will be able to reduce employee's wages.
If for no other reason I think the competition for workers in the rapidly expanding economy the FairTax brings about will largely preclude that sort of robbing of employees.
