Re: What kind of Socialism?
I'm not sure I follow you. I run a small business. I pay taxes and health insurance for me and a dozen employees. I take the usual deductions. The code gives me a few perks but in the end I pay about 51% of my income as some form of tax. Then add sales tax. I keep hearing about how companies like mine aren't the real small business because most small businesses net less. Something like a larger depreciation on capital expenditures is a big help (I also hear that isn't true from some quarters). I really play by the rules, whatever they are. As an employer I take on responsibility (payroll taxes, social security, medicare, health insurance...blah blah blah). And lately all I hear are ideas about how to stick me with more of the burden. All of these ideas come from think tanks, law makers and econ professors who have never run a business. As an alternative I have a party that uses hate speech and fear mongering to rile up their base. A party that thew a war and doled out goodies galore to it's friends.
Hopeless. Rangel vs. Bachman. Great!
What is this black market you speak of. Is it paying for an extra day of office cleaning with petty cash? How do i get to sell my house or stocks without an extra capital gain tax hidden as health care for the people. Why are my premiums going up and what I get in return going down year after year.
Pathetic.
