I think its 20% in LA county. LA county is now over 10 million. LA city and county and state are 100% Democrat party control. La county is the poverty capital of the nation, not Mississippi, not Lousiana.

If you are working for free after paying taxes you need a new CPA

While that's true, Republicans are only 1/3 of welfare recipients. Welfare recipients are predominantly Democrats. It's the Democrat mindset: take, dont contribute.

Paying federal income tax while 43% of 1040 tax filers don't IS working for free. It's slavery that not all are subjected to.

The same, but there's only half the amount of Democrats on welfare. Why are Republicans the predominant contributors and Democrats the predominant societal parasites?

It doesn't matter. In your mind these republicans are parasites as well.

Please explain how an $8/hr retail worker starts his own business then his employer goes out of business.

Nobody is stopping them but themselves...and their prospective commercial landlords, and their prospective suppliers, etc.

The post was in reference to me terminating my employees when I retired. They were paid far more than $8/hr. Any of them could have subsequently started their own business. None of them did.
