I am glad you added this: > the government is ... raking off a cut for itself ... One of the more costly operations in a business or government is the non-producing "paperwork departments." When it was decided that Social Security benefits should be taxed, this actually accomplished "reducing the benefit." But that would not look good, so the benefit was continued at the same level, but benefit payments would now be added to "taxable totals" - and several more loops of administrative costs were added to the circular path of the money distribution and collection. We send it there - they return a "reduced portion" as benefits - they tax it - We send it there... The Statist Theory of Merry-Go-Round Economics. This also helped to create more government "processing" jobs and bureaucrats required for the process; resulting in even higher admin costs for an already troubled system... Go figure... JHbs
