I have enough construction work lined up to take me well into next year.

I could hire people but I won't because of payroll taxes, exorbitant workers compensation premiums and other government restrictions.

If you're looking for a job...your government just might be the reason you can't find one.

I think you could refuse to withhold tax, as long as you inform your employees that they now have the responsibility of paying said tax themselves - a tactic of which I heartily approve, because it'll alert more people to just how much the tax system is screwing us over.
