Workers paying Taxes: Not a myth

I’m as pro-honest-business as anyone.

But the continued line about the business owners as the ideal rich being the only ones who pay taxes is a flat lie.

Drunkenomics?

The middle class pay taxes and most are non-business owners. Most of the middle class are a mix of workers and management. It is a myth that a very few business owners and very few outright rich people ( not always the same thing as any small business owner will tell you ) tell themselves that goes: “workers don’t pay taxes anyway so why should they get a say in how taxes are spent and ought to shut up about the System.” It is also a myth that the business environment is better in foreign countries than in the USA.

1. “Workers” pay taxes that they never get back. Let’s put that in blunt terms: they are paid a wage and part of wage they never see. Period. It’s like being promised $10.00 an hour as a legal framework of agreement on which to give up time in the service of the business and yet simply never seeing a portion of that $10.00 while on paper they are told they were paid the whole ten dollars but part of it simply disappeared into a vast bureaucracy of do-good crap they will never see that is genuinely not the fault of the business owner. That tax is called Social Security in addition to outright State and Federal Income tax and is in addition to all other taxes ( property taxes, sales taxes, service fees, gasoline taxes, etc..) . For the most part, social security is being given to whoever a politician can find to give it to: illegal aliens, non-working and non-retireees as families as a form of welfare, etc. The average worker may get a portion or even all of their federal or state taxes back, but so do many corporations and anyone else who uses the system of exemptions to their business advantage.

That is not the same thing as making actual dollars and having to send a portion of what was made in as taxes after you have made interest off it or profited by putting it in another business venture or the stock market ( definitely not the same thing ) OR by profiting by the mere fact of paying a wage by passing the cost on to your customer plus twenty percent. The business owner for the most part actually sees the whole amount, has at the least an opportunity to invest part of it and sends in whatever a politician can get out of him or her later. The worker simply never sees the whole, much smaller amount. That is a whole different experience. While everyone has the opportunity to start a business within a legal system, not all can for their own reasons that include destiny.

2. The management of large companies like GM and Chrysler, according to their own lies and ‘Leadership’ bullshit about ‘free’ will, were responsible for the collapse of their companies. While it is true that unions can be just as greedy as any greedy Board Member and are their own unique source of political unrest as being infiltrated by communist and socialists, you can’t lay all the blame on grossly unfair and corrupt union contracts that benefit workers who are falsely idealized to “pay no taxes”.

3. The business environment is not better in other countries when viewed as a whole, esp; the tax situation. Sure, there might be in the short term a window in which you can produce cheaper cars in third world countries and pay less wages and less taxes, but you risk the next political leader nationalizing your company or you having to pay bribes as a hidden tax as an acceptable business behavior in that country and you risk political instability. That political instability is a double edged sword –to get those benefits of operating in that country, you need a certain amount of political instability in order that your ‘workers’ be thankful for the small amount of stability your manufacturing job provides them and to ‘motivate’ them within the lie of free will ( if you are management you will have to be master of such lies ) and to keep them enslaved in a thankful mindset ( that you got priests and preachers to instill as emotional common sense as religion ) no matter what you do or how little you pay them. But too much instability and too much free will crap –or the wrong kind– and they will revolt and throw you out. ( if all they get is the lie of free will they will eventually throw you out anyway, no matter what kind they get ( socialism, communism, false ‘democracy’, fascism, false religion of any kind, etc..) as they will falsely idealize you as the source of all evil in the world..)

You do not have that situation in the USA. You have attempts at political instability and an attempt by the media to portray that more instability exist than actually does to provoke those same responses ( cowing workers) but an understanding on the part of Enough of the populace ( that doesn’t need to be a majority or even a significant minority ) that the lies that create instability and dissatisfaction are indeed lies and that a middle class is a blessing to both rich and poor. The nationalizing of some banks and GM and Chrysler, while indeed are outright nationalizing, at the least has to proceed according to a rule of law ( even a corrupt law) , there is a case to be made that it was a rescue of a mismanaged and corrupt business who in past times got away with violations of law repeatedly, and is not to be compared to the whims of a dictator who will merely be ousted by another faction at unpredictable times who will have to be paid a new bribe/tax. While Obama and company do have megalomania, have zero moral authority and are the worst government in the history of the United States, the forces that put them in office are far from stable or secure and in no way constitute a real dictator, even though they will seek to be so at every avenue.

To constantly imply that workers are just dissatisfied jerks that ‘pay zero taxes’ is a bizarre lie that needs to be stopped as all it does is portray to many that they have no worth and are mere cattle in the eyes of ‘business owners’ –which is not true. Any business owner and board member of the least acumen knows that a business venture stands or falls on the quality of the workers and they know how hard a life workers have. To then add fuel to a Dissatisfaction Fire is seeking to provoke a revolt over a lie by misrepresenting the actual reality of any decent business owners outlook and to belittle workers for no real reason at all.

The legal cards are stacked in favor of starting and running a business in the USA. That is as it should be: the individual ought to be as encouraged as possible to start a business and be productive of honest work, goods and services. It is true that the Democrats in particular falsely portray themselves to be the champion of the worker when in reality they merely stick it everyone and trample on the worker and seek at every turn to destroy an environment in which independent business can prosper. But some people are not cut out to run a business nor they have any desire to be a merchant.

God works all these things out in order that in any given instant there are some who are vain and proud in earthly riches, others have earthly riches are not vain and proud, others who are oppressed by that vanity and pride, some whom He sends on a journey through worldly poverty to bring spiritual blessings on the others that no amount of self-effort, legal environment or money can produce or prevent. It is only the vanity and pride of those prisoner’s of money as literal punks and bitches for their ideology/demons that seek to demonize workers as unthankful dolts who don’t understand the supposed ‘grand favors’ the rich supposedly bestow on them as supposed acts of self-will.

Demonizing the rich and the middle class as a blanket statement is just as injust and is simply the end product of being deceived you have free will and any success you have is self-wrought or any lack of it the fault of others by their supposed use of ‘free will’.

All that “I did it my way” crap, driving a Bentley, giving food to the food bank, being a spokes-babe for UNICEF or handing out scholarships doesn’t mean you go to heaven. Neither does being wrongfully imprisoned, living in rags or being homeless or being the victim of truly heinous crimes. Neither does inciting one set of persons against another.

Hab 2:12,13 Woe to him that buildeth a town with blood, and establisheth a city by unrighteousness! Behold, is it not of Jehovah of hosts that the peoples labour for the fire, and the nations weary themselves in vain?

Proverbs 6:12-13 A man of Belial, a wicked person, is he that goeth about with a perverse mouth; he winketh with his eyes, he speaketh with his feet, he teacheth with his fingers; deceits are in his heart; he deviseth mischief at all times, he soweth discords. Therefore shall his calamity come suddenly: in a moment shall he be broken, and without remedy. These six things doth Jehovah hate, yea, seven are an abomination unto him: haughty eyes, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood; a heart that deviseth wicked imaginations; feet that are swift in running to mischief; a false witness that uttereth lies, and he that soweth discords among brethren.

In the Name of Jesus Christ, Amen
