Via Hot Air:
" ... a proposal that all employers send employee paychecks to the government, after which the government would deduct what it deems as the appropriate tax and pay the employees by bank transfer." [full story]How might this work?
- The government collects the money and spends it before it has a chance to send it to the money earner.
- The government collects the money and determines that it is appropriate to keep it all because the government provides everyone with what the government determines they need.
- The government collects the money and it disappears in the rounding process at the accounting department.
- The government collects the money and orders the earner to be jailed for not sending enough appropriate taxes.
- The government collects the money and determines that the earner does not exist and is not eligible to receive any money from the government.
