Money seems to have amnesia about the amount of taxes businesses pay for having employees. If you figure the book has bad math, Money just did them one better with lazy math.
Oddly, the math flaw was confirmed by the fair taxer researcher who came up with the 22% embedded taxes, Dr. Jorgenson. Boorts and Linder also agreed there was a flaw, and Boortz said he would correct it in later editions. I have done the math many times, it is flawed.
But you are correct. The payroll tax savings alone should be plenty to cut prices and increase profits for businesses. Or even give employees a raise...JFK
I'm tired of worthless bureaucrats and crooked, dumb politicians wasting my hard-earned money!
