Congratulation on starting your own business. You've started your very own stationary business, and this makes the government very happy.

In your first year of operation you did a good job and made over $100,000 dollars. Way to go champ, but wait! Did you really make $100,000 dollars? The government says hold on a second buddy...

Corporate Tax Rates for 2012 says that if you made over $100K than you must pay the government 39% of that hard earn money. That means the government takes 39 cents for every dollar that you've made.

So now you've only made $61,000 in your first year of hard work and dedication, but wait! You must now reorder new stationary supplies pencils, ink pens, note pads etc... and the sales tax on that is 8%.

So lets see, The government takes 39% for their Corporate Tax Rates and another 8% for sales taxes. That's a whopping 47%! of you're new business gone to the government.

Than you have to pay your employee says minimum wage and he earn $20K a year which is 20% of that 100K you've just made and now you're paying 67% out of that 100K and now down to 33K net profit, but wait! Your employee is stealing from the job which takes up 5% of your profits so now you're only making 28K net profit.


But wait! Now your employee wants to unionize and demands more money! and now your employee makes more money than you do for owning your very own business. Welcome to America champ!
