Working 9-5 for salary is playing safe. Getting a loan to start a business, hiring 9-5'ers who don't give a shit after 5 and praying for all this to work out while watching your hair go grey at night - this is what I mean by risk-taking.
This is why the company owner makes more money - he bets and does what he can to win. The employee comes in, does his thing, collects his paycheck regardless of whether there was profit this month. He doesn't take the risk, if the company goes down he goes to another one.Thing is, there is less money to pay the employee if you tax the shit of his boss.
In other words: the government will tax your rich boss and you will be happy because "that's fair" (!?) Meanwhile you will not make a mental connection between your boss getting robbed by the tax man and you not getting a raise.I am simplifying this, but this will happen on a big scale - if every wealthy boss gets taxed, he'll either have less money for his employees' salaries or his wife will not refurbish her villa or get a new car. This, in turn means less job for villa refurbishers and car factory workers.
Which leads to my conclusion: If you tax the rich, the poor will suffer in the end.- except you are lumping personal and company finances together a little too much?ribit
- As I said, I am simplifying greatly :)raf
- In the end we're all dead. We all suffer in the end.
boobs - The boss will have breaks/dividends through his co. if he's smart so his declared salary will probably be tiny.babaganush
