Tax Cheats
- Share via
Your attack on self-employed businesses (editorial, April 8) is grossly irresponsible and outrageous. Thousands of businesses pay substantial sums to people like myself to ensure that their taxes are properly prepared. This is in spite of the costly burden of overly complicated, often illogical tax regulations that only make sense when measured against the voracious appetite of the government for more and more money. I would not for a minute defend any tax cheater, but your brush is entirely too broad.
Thank God for the vast majority of businesses that comply with the rules and pay their allotted share; they do not belong in the same bag as those “wealthy” self-employed cheaters, whoever they are.
