    You make the boss $100, you wage is $7.25, your boss is earning $92.75 that he uses to recoup the costs of production then can pocket the rest.

    Your boss then takes that money and pays off the capitalist state to make laws to take more of your money to further subsidize his cost of business while rigging the laws in his favor to make sure competition doesn’t spring up to threaten his bottom line. Your taxes, which should be used for the common welfare of all, is being laundered and sent to further enrich the capitalist class.

    If you think taxes are theft, then working for a wage is slavery

      I’m talking about communism, not mere taxes…

      Communism makes it so the guy who is capable of working but sits on his couch all day has the same money as the guy working his butt off…

      I have no problem with when people who can’t work are helped, the problem is when people who aren’t trying to work get to mooch off of the workers…

      Also, most people aren’t working for $7.25… they go where the money is better… unfortunately big corporations have their fingers in the government (on both sides)
