...Jim Thompson


... And this happy state of affairs actually benefit said workers or
management & political cronies?

Sez he who is currently ****ed off because the communist ******* retard
government cannot abolish the top rate tax EVEN WHILE IN MAJORITY.
Consequently, I will take 3-4 weeks holiday more on top of the six I
already enjoy - screw them; they can go leech off someone else!!


Hmm, I met quite a few Scandinavians who did that. But I must confess I
also did it in Germany once. Looked at the biz numbers, tax rate quite up
there, some major remodel was needed in the house. Looked at contractor
costs versus my after-tax income, almost choked. Decided to take three
weeks off and did it myself.

Same he Heartsurgeons working as inept DIY'ers because brickies cost too
much after Tax!



Income tax makes no sense. There should be only one tax, on
consumption, and it should be fully visible, as sales taxes are in the
US, not hidden like VAT.


Especially a staggered one. What I never understood is that once you
exceed a (pretty low) income tax bracket even by one Dollar your long
term cap gain tax instantly triples.
