I found this an interesting article about outsourcing. Maybe it will bring
some light to you also. It is the second time I have posted it but no one
commented about it so, maybe no one read it? I know that I paid less taxes
this year at the bottom of the rung and actually don't care how much others
pay as long as the government does not have so much money to play with and
has to meet a new and smaller budget.
Are you absolutely positive about the rich paying less?? The IRS says they
pay more.
Just some thoughts.
