Agreed there, and big government does benefit big business. Every bit of regulation that has been advertised as being the thing that will finally reign in the excesses of eeeeeeeeeevil big business has only turned out to be burdensome to small businesses who can't afford to hire the lobbyists who help to craft said regulations. I still don't understand why you think getting rid of social security would put money in anyone's pocket, though. Whenever I make X amount of dollars, the government takes a portion of that and promises to give it back to me later when I'm all growed up. How would my employer justify pocketing that money if social security were suddenly ended? This sounds like the logic behind minimum wage laws being stretched to its breaking point. |
Any suprise that they want minimum wage laws to be abolished too? Unless something replaces the cutting of social security, such as superannuation, then the move back will be subtle. After all, employees take more notice of their wage changing than any taxes changing. Generally, if complaints are made about taxes raised, it's generally noticed because of a wage drop. Same goes the other way.
