No, because there are federal tax incentives that companies can take advantage of to offset the costs of being compliant.

Yeah the government doesn't steal quite as much from you at tax time. Not sure how that is a good thing.

To be fair you asked if it would be fair to levy a charge against a handicap person for the increased costs of accommodation and I based my "no" off of the fact that the govt covers their half.

Taxes arent bad, they are only bad because we have corrupt politicians who dont reinvest our money into something we can see, but thats an entirely different topic and sure to raise everyones blood pressure.

So that makes taxes bad. If politicians handle the taxes and mishandle them then that makes taxes bad.

That makes our current system bad. I dont mind taxes if they were reinvested into the community instead of being sent overseas to countries Ill never go to.
