Do you own a business? It is the same tax. Typically it is paid by the employer. Small business owners pay it themselves. If you own a company, you pay it for yourself and your employees. If you work for someone else and you are at 45%, you might need a new accountant.

No, no, no. we’re 30… 30, three zero.

maybe while he's on a roll he can also answer Buckman's question(if he saw it)...wondering if those who "pay their fair share" with taxes like sales tax while having no Federal obligation and pay for their goods and services with some sort of government transfer payment which we know is a direct transfer from one American to another less the Ferderal bureaucracy processing costs.....who is ACTUALLY paying that fair share?

The New American Dream
Government assistance expands
By Tami Luhby @CNNMoney February 7, 2012:

More than a third of Americans lived in households receiving government assistance in 2010.

NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- More than one in three Americans lived in households that received Medicaid, food stamps or other means-based government assistance in mid-2010, according to a new report.

And when Social Security, Medicare and unemployment benefits are included, nearly half of the nation lived in a household that received a government check, according to the analysis of third-quarter 2010 Census data done by the Mercatus Center at George Mason University, a libertarian-leaning think tank. That's more than 148 million Americans.

Those numbers are on their way up thanks to the Great Recession and its aftermath, which have pushed record numbers of people onto public assistance programs. In particular, the stubbornly high unemployment rate has left millions of Americans in dire straits.

In 2008, one-quarter of people lived in households receiving a government lifeline and about 45 percent a government check, according to the Census Bureau.


The federal government sent a record $2 trillion to individuals in fiscal 2010, up nearly 75% from 10 years earlier.




we do know who built this..................
