Or you could look at countries like Norway, Finland, Germany, Australia, etc....

You don't "make" money from a tax plan. You do however try to be tax efficient so you can legally keep more of your money. Why do Democrats continue to think the money we earn is the gov't money?
If you want to get technical about it, it is the government's money. Our currency is property of the US government and Federal Reserve Bank. We just "borrow" it.

And when all other similar retailers follow suit (as most have)? Then what?

There is a national service workers union, the SEIU, but WalMart and Target both refuse to negotiate a collective bargaining agreement with them

So I have to be a mind reader now? Better yet, just admit you said what you think. The tax code is 72,000 pages. It has to broken down into parts since it's so complicated and effect everyone according to their situation, it effects people differently according to their situation. From what I understand I will benefit some but isn't that what it's all about?

Why do Democrats think the people keeping more of their money is a bad thing? Obviously Democrats don't want us to keep more of our money. That would mean they want us to be gov't slaves.

Since when is keeping more of our money a bad thing? Obviously Democrats don't want us to keep more of our money. That would mean they want us to be gov't slaves.

Answer my question. You keep deflecting.

(Also, I thought you previously said the tax code was 82,000 pages?)

73,954 pages
Our source for this data is the Wolters Kluwer CCH Standard Tax Reporter, which has updated their data through the 2013 tax year: We find that for those filing their personal income taxes on 15 April 2014, they must comply with the terms of a tax code that takes 73,954 pages to explain.

No, you conveniently failed to quantify how much you'd benefit from the proposed plan.

A professional who's job is to keep up on the 82,000 page convoluted tax code.
