Becoming self-employed has made me become a minimum-government libertarian in 0.1 seconds. :blobcat-joy:
I'm not actually serious, but god damn. Why is it so painfully difficult to simply get my own earnings from my own company without having the government taking FREAKING HALF OF THE MONEY.
I have to register my company as an employer and then have the company register me as an employee and then the company has to file MONTHLY wage tax declarations. WHY???
My health insurance and such also has to be paid by the company, as an "employer."
Why not just let me pay myself whenever I want (say quarterly or even yearly) through a simple bank transaction, let me pay my income tax privately from my own bank account whenever I transfer money to myself, and likewise for the health insurance...
I suppose an understandable justification might be that the government wants to ensure that cash is flowing regularly to them, rather than in the form of sudden spikes at the end of every quarter or at the end of the whole year.
