I don't think you understand what a century tax is. Because thats what that is.

I definitely don't know what a century tax is and can't find anything on Google. Care to elaborate?

Sorry auto correct got the best ofe there. Just what a tax is.

Its just a charge levied by the government. You think taxes are only income taxes, but thats just one type of tax.

In the same way tarrifs are also taxes, so would be making an employer pay for govermenet benifit, would also be a tax.

Yes but taxes can be subverted by changing the registered address of the company. Can't say the same about food stamps.

That doesn't make it not a tax. It makes it not an income tax.
