Learn to read before you type ignorant sentences.
Maybe I didn't make it plain enough, should of realised I was discussing it with a one man band.

Cost of worker in wages/taxes = X Cost of worker in terms of equipment, location, etc = Y Profit from his work has to be more than X+Y to make it viable.

It's that simple to someone who employs people. Or more simply.

What ever it costs to employ someone, he/she should make there employment worth at least 50% more than cost.

Even if the cost includes tax, lunches, transport or a hooker every Friday. The cost of the worker has to be less that what the worker produces by a decent amount.

So you wouldn't employ someone whose cost was $1,000 a week and produced you $1,000 a week in in pure profit. Because $200 of the workers cost was tax.

And when the Government does stop spending, expect your US sales to drop.
