Debunking your claim:
> While in practice employers know exactly for how little money (in hand) you are willing to work and in absence of income taxes would just pay this much less so that your money in hand is the same.
- scotty79 6mo agoYeah. Things are never simple, and rarely binary. I exaggerated my claim to draw attention to the fact that it's not like many people believe, that income tax burden lands fully on the worker. While my claim sound proposterous the opposite claim that is also false (maybe even equally so) rarely ever raises an eyebrow, which I think is very telling.
