Thank you, a smigeon of justice in the crooked world of finance and politics: Heres a little tidbit about 'Hank' Paulson, the guy shrub has chosen to save us from the crooks: "...In 1972-73, Paulson worked as office assistant to John Erlichman, assistant to the president for domestic affairs. Erlichman was one of the key figures involved in organizing President Richard Nixon’s notorious “plumbers” unit that carried out illegal covert operations against the president’s political opponents, including espionage, blackmail, and revenge. ... " McSame can only talk about 'Joe the plumber' while his party is handing over the last little bits of our nation's wealth (our last credit line) and reputation to 'Hank the plumber'...

I haven't filed a schedule C in years. The companies I work with have schedule Cs to pay for their fluid workforce. This FICA burden is THE problem. Not federal taxes. The only people who care about federal taxes are people making a ton of money who actually get taxed close to the same amt the fica crowd has to pay in all cases, in other words when the high earners start to have to pay what the entrepreneurs do under 100K, only THEN they start complaining! hahah. I'm telling you- you better shut up about this flat tax BS avoiding FICA because what will result is a removal of the FICA caps and then you will be much worse off.
