I fear Ms. Rand may have miscalculated. Here's why the it makes little sense for the supermens to get salty and go galty


Lets say I have a business.
I have two employees.
Each employee costs me 80 dollars annually
Each employee produces 100 dollars annually

Annually my profits before taxes are 40 dollars.

If 40 dollars of earnings are taxed at 50 percent I still have 20 dollars of earnings left after taxes.

If 40 dollars of earnings are taxed at 75 percent I still have 10 dollars of earnings left after taxes.

If I lay off one employee because tax rates rise and my one remaining employee still nets me 20 dollars of earnings, a 75 percent tax rate will leave me with only 5 dollars of annual earnings.

Why would a tax increase cause me to lay off one of my employees?

Wealth doesn't create labor.

Labor precedes capital.

more and more I think that life is about accountability and our ever vigilant struggle to have none

I can't imagine that a for profit correctional facility would ever make kickbacks to judges in order to fill cells and increase their profits.


It's just the free market bitches.
