The taxing of wages is not simply a bad idea. It's not a mere good intention poorly applied. It's not an option in any economy that wants to live out a normal healthy life span. It's a poison pill from hell -- a perfect formula for destroying an economy while simultaneously impoverishing workers and sucking their brains out! Above all, it's un-Constitutional. That should settle it for all 308 million people stuffed into the USA, but eggheads and utopians always insist the emperor is wearing, clothes, and they're way to good at getting everybody else to say so.
Dr. Clarkson always said that the more a country (or state, etc.) taxes wages, the more it depends on debt -- that's already cannibalism, isn't it? I think this article is saying the same thing from another angle.
South Carolinians must rejoice at this article for another reason -- it also shows the greatness of the right to work without being compelled to join labor unions, and SC is a right to work state.
I put "income tax" in quotes above, because, after all..... wages are not income.
States with no income tax see growth in 2010

Many of us are keenly interested in preserving our right to travel, which increasingly overlaps with the right to privacy. Here's a wild headline in which often troublesome corporate giant Google is finally cause for some real excitement:

This just in by email -- priceless, just priceless!
The sad part is how true this is.
Gubmint and How Gubmint Works
Once upon a time the government had a vast scrap yard in the middle of a desert. Congress said, "Someone may steal from it at night." So they created a night watchman position and hired a person for the job.
Then Congress said, "How does the watchman do his job without instruction?" So they created a planning department and hired two people, one person to write the instructions and one person to do time studies.
Then Congress said, "How will we know the night watchman is doing the tasks correctly?" So they created a Quality Control department and hired two people, one to do the studies and one to write the reports.
Then Congress said, "How are these people going to get paid?" So they created two positions, a time keeper and a payroll officer, then hired two people.
Then Congress said, "Who will be accountable for all of these people?"
So they created an administrative section and hired three people, an Administrative Officer, an Assistant Administrative Officer, and a Legal Secretary.
Then Congress said, "We have had this command in operation for one year, and we are $918,000 over budget. We must cut back." So they laid off the night watchman.
NOW slowly, let that sink in.
Quietly, we go like sheep to slaughter.
Does anybody remember the reason given for the establishment of the DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY..... during the Carter Administration?
Anybody?
Anything?
No?
Didn't think so!
Bottom line: We've spent several hundred billion dollars in support of an agency...the reason for which not one person who reads this can remember!
Ready?? It was very simple . . . and, at the time, everybody thought it very appropriate.
The Department of Energy was instituted on 8/04/1977 TO LESSEN OUR DEPENDENCE ON FOREIGN OIL.
Hey, pretty efficient, huh???
AND, NOW, IT'S 2010 -- 33 YEARS LATER -- AND THE BUDGET FOR THIS "NECESSARY" DEPARTMENT IS AT $24.2 BILLION A YEAR. IT HAS 16,000 FEDERAL EMPLOYEES AND APPROXIMATELY 100,000 CONTRACT EMPLOYEES, AND LOOK AT THE JOB IT HAS DONE! THIS IS WHERE YOU SLAP YOUR FOREHEAD AND SAY, "WHAT WERE THEY THINKING?"
A little over 33 years ago, 30% of our oil consumption was foreign imports. Today 70% of our oil consumption is foreign imports.
Ah, yes -- the good old Federal bureaucracy!!
NOW, WE HAVE TURNED THE BANKING SYSTEM, HEALTH CARE, AND THE AUTO INDUSTRY OVER TO THE SAME GOVERNMENT?
Hello!! Anybody Home?
Remember the "energy crisis" of the Carter years? Every gas station had a red, yellow or green flag out front to show which class of drivers were allowed to tank up there. Think it was revived a few years ago, complete with killings in view of pumps? Guess you'd call that part "gas line rage," and some would call it a fit subject for studies and subsidies in some direction.Phony baloney -- that's all the gas crisis has been all this time. oceans of crude languish under the lower 48 while Washington fakes one oil war after another in the Mideast. Millions of road vehicles outside of the krazy mixed-up USA are happily running around on compressed natural gas, and wouldn't it be good to know how many million gallons of used cooking oil are simply being trashed every day by restaurants?
Never mind all that -- Tesla showed us the way to free energy, but Mr. Westinghouse asked "Where would one put the meter?" and the System made sure it came to nought.
AmeriKa is a Land Of Confusion now, in which problems are gaping wounds that never close -- while solutions are growing on every green tree and being widely enjoyed by people in still-functioning countries. Huge industries (e.g. federal bureaucracies) feed off of trouble and chaos, and have a vested interest in keeping peace and order at bay. It does not have to be this way!
For an equally trenchant essay on another current curse, google Is this a union house. Can't link it here, wouldn't want to.
