First of all, that is take home tax free... so in reality that’s over 40k a year and secondly, thru September/October benefits are also being paid by the government thru cobra which by the way employers have to pick up the tab on that, while the government gets around to one day reimbursing them. Government sucks.Quote:

That would be a 30% tax rate. Somehow this accountant does not believe someone making $40k would a marginal rate of 30%. Nice try.Quote:

Apparently "Foxitus" is a legal defense argument similar to temporary insanity. Or perhaps a different term for the same condition.

Like I said before, the places I know that pay a bit more than just the minimum are fully staffed here. The one I know that pays the minimum had to cut their menu because they were short staffed. Is it the employee that is the problem because they want a livable wage or the business who won’t pay it?Quote:

The government free handouts are the problem. When small and midsize business owners can’t fill positions in almost every single industry right now, that’s a free handout issue. You can try justify government’s horrible decisions over the past year if you want, but in reality it’s been horrible decision after horrible decisionQuote:

Maybe we would have better off just ignoring Trump’s mean tweets.
He’s not free from dumb decision making throughout covid as well. Both administrators are culpable.Quote:
