Wrong. Most employees get tax refunds.
As an employer...I not only have NEVER had a "refund", but I also have to pay matching taxes for my employees...
Nobody "avoids" anything. If you have write-offs...it still means the money is GONE (spent).
And I just saw on the news that so many homes have been foreclosed on that home ownership is at it's LOWEST. People renting are at their highest.
When you actually own your own home AND your own business...then you will see that the biggest expense you have is: the govt. (taxes). It runs up the cost of everything.
And where do my taxes go? I would hope they would go to help the children and the poor and the infrastructure. lol
Sorry, I couldn't say that with a straight face...I think everybody knows that our tax dollars are mostly wasted and go into politicians pockets: big salaries, office buildings, etc.
Nevada is in a lot of trouble. So is the city of Las Vegas. And yet...yet...with all the worries about school funding and homelessness, etc. This happened:
