Looking at the title you probably thinking that I am off my rocker. But the truth is ... they don't pay taxes... not really. To illustrate this let me suggest this comparison:
Let's say I agree to work for a company for $1000 per week. They pay me on every Friday at 5:00. I work my first week and go to collect my paycheck. The lady at the pay window hands me 2 checks: one for $800 and the other for $200. I am about to take the 2 checks when the lady pulls back the check for $200. I tell her I agreed to work for $1000 per week so I need the other check. She tells me that the other check is a "company tax" back to the company and it will be used to help pay all the OTHER workers in the company. A week goes by and I go back to the pay window and the lady repeats the same scenario over and over again. In fact its the SAME $200 check I am given and then take away each week.
What I am getting at is that government workers put money back into the government to pay part of their own wages the next week. Their money never pays for a single road, bridge, school, airport or navy ship or military personnel. In fact ALL government employees are not paying for the government to operate as their taxes are going to pay THEIR own wages. But who pays for the other $800 in my scenario? Answer: The private sector employee is paying that part. THEY are the backbone of this country.. NOT the public employee.
Its time for the private sector to stand up and show the public sector who is in charge again!
