I don’t so much mind the income tax, as the witholding of it by employers. Who thought that up? People should pay income tax the way we self-employed do: Figure out what you owe (or pay someone to figure it out for you) then write a check. Employer withholding strikes me as immoral.

I’d sever all connection between employers and their employees’ private affairs–this one, and the whole health-insurance wheeze. Can’t we take care of ourselves? Let employers pay wages and salaries, and leave the rest to us.

You can call this castels in the air if you like, but–is this employer nannying popular with anyone?
