Income tax and deductions come from my gross income, my full earnings according to the agreed-upon wage — NOS4A2
I don’t agree that the “agreed upon wage” includes some implicit condition that I pay a percentage of it in taxes. If I refuse to pay taxes I don’t owe the employer a percentage of my wage. The exchange of tax between me and the government has nothing to do with the employer. — NOS4A2
Do you hold that an employer includes what I will inevitably owe in income taxes into the wage? I don’t see how that can work. — NOS4A2
If I miss a day, have less income to tax, and therefor have less tax to pay, should the hourly wage change to reflect that? — NOS4A2
I just don’t see how that works. If the income tax is the product of a tax rate times the taxable income, it is impossible for an employer to know what I will be paying in income tax in order to factor it into my hourly wage. — NOS4A2
If you want a without-tax wage, you need to tell your employer that you don't intend to pay tax. Your employer may then want to renegotiate your wage under these new terms because they know they'll have additional expenses arising from your failure to pay said taxes. — Isaac

If you don't pay a portion of your wage in income tax (by law, not by deception), then you don't come with all those benefits. — Isaac

Whether the corporate sector or the state, there are human beings making decisions. These decisions happen against the background of attitudes, beliefs, perceptions — which are shaped by culture, but especially the educational and media systems. — Xtrix
NOTHING appears more surprizing to those, who consider human affairs with a philosophical eye, than the easiness with which the many are governed by the few; and the implicit submission, with which men resign their own sentiments and passions to those of their rulers. When we enquire by what means this wonder is effected, we shall find, that, as Force is always on the side of the governed, the governors have nothing to support them but opinion. It is therefore, on opinion only that government is founded; and this maxim extends to the most despotic and most military governments, as well as to the most free and most popular. The soldan of Egypt, or the emperor of Rome, might drive his harmless subjects, like brute beasts, against their sentiments and inclination: But he must, at least, have led his mamalukes, or prætorian bands, like men, by their opinion. — David Hume, On The First Principles of Government
I'd like to see -- if forced to choose -- what forum members think about power. — Xtrix
I think of the categories provided, the church is the most powerful. Everyone — in whatever class, in whatever position of power, and whether a politician or king or CEO, has a religion. — Xtrix
Get involved in philosophical discussions about knowledge, truth, language, consciousness, science, politics, religion, logic and mathematics, art, history, and lots more. No ads, no clutter, and very little agreement — just fascinating conversations.
