Just proves that YOU pay for what you DON’T know. The only case you rest on is the need for a better education of how to legally avoid paying that much tax.

I suggest you post how to avoid paying sales tax and Social Security taxes here. I'm sure it'll make a fortune for you. Dolt.

To start with, self-employed people or people who employ are able to reduce what qualifies as income if they use the law correctly.
Someone who is only an employee has less protection. Though even an employee can go start a business on the side and start reducing his earned income against the costs of starting and running the side business.
It would NOT require a corporation at all, but you would be getting well informed about keeping good records and a scheduel C.

"Directly" calling me names (dolt) though, I would suggest you cease since in the last half hour alone you have broken the rules twice here regarding personal attacks and could be getting yourself banned.
An accidental mistake only happens once.

You can get the point across or not agree without being nasty.
