The employers do government work without just compensation.

HR2525 provides compensation to both the retailers who collect and remitt the NRST, and the States who administer and enforce the tax.

refer -->>H.R.2525
SPONSOR: Rep Linder, John (introduced 07/17/2001)
A bill to promote freedom, fairness, and economic opportunity by repealing the income tax and other taxes, abolishing the Internal Revenue Service, and enacting a national retail sales tax to be administered primarily by the States.

Every retailer in the country that employs anyone is already a tax collector - income "tax" and "social security" tax. I agree it is very immoral. The employers do government work without just compensation.

Read the context. The work I reference is current work. I was responding to someone else's comment that read:

I think it is immoral to make every retailer in the country a tax collector.

My position, if you care, is that the current system is more than wrong. I concede your system may be less wrong, but my main point was for Pontiac to understand the current situation of employers as uncompensated tax collectors.
