Let me rephrase: there are no taxes paid for mere employment; instead, taxation for social security is shared between employer and employee.
Saying that governments “hide taxes from workers by taxing the employer” is inaccurate at best. Taxation is shared, and there aren’t dedicated taxes for employers.
- jokethrowaway 4y agoThe net effect is that the average Joe reads his payslip and just see his share of social insurance contribution - and then complains that his employer his paying him too little, without knowing how much social insurance his employer is paying. Hiding seems appropriate.
- Am4TIfIsER0ppos 4y agoIf it costs an employer 100k to employ a person then that person should receive 100k.
- manuelabeledo 4y agoYou meant to say that employees should be paying 13% in social security, instead of the current 6.5% + 6.5% model.
- Am4TIfIsER0ppos 4y agoNo I mean employees should be able to spend their salary on whatever they like. Whether that is a pension/investment/savings or a flashy car is up to them.
- manuelabeledo 4y agoSo either the employer pays taxes, or no one does. First one is fine with me. Second, no so much. Libertarian utopias are just that, and every single example of such has been a disaster.
