The goal of withholding is to make taxpayers less aware of how much they really pay each month to fund our massive federal government. This deception has made it much easier for Congress to increase taxes steadily over the past sixty years. I want taxpayers to keep all of their paychecks, and pay for government each month with their mortgage and other bills. No employer should be forced to determine, let alone collect, the federal tax liabilities of its individual employees. The Temple's employees paid their taxes in full as individuals, but the IRS was not about to allow its rules to be flouted.
American businesses spend millions and waste countless hours complying with the withholding laws.
Congress must act now to end the withholding slavery imposed on our nation's employers. DC- Congressman Ron Paul yesterday joined more than 260 of his Congressional colleagues in voting to repeal the harmful estate tax. It amounts to government confiscation of an individual's property when he or she dies. Furthermore, it is a terrible form of double taxation. Americans pay federal and state income taxes on their wages throughout their lives.
