In a chillingly Socialist move, the UK government has proposed having all workers' paychecks go to the government first and the government depositing the remainder after deductions.
This is very scary stuff and the Obama administration is likely watching this very closely to see if they might get away with it.
Implementing the system would require massive data collection and data warehousing in order to calculate and track taxes and pay.
It would expose workers' private accounts to government mistakes and do away with their option (and right) to only pay at the year's end.
Given the reputation of government IT and data security, this is very scary stuff.
Add to that the bureaucratic reluctance to let people have so much as a penny back once they have their mitts on it, you have the makings of a very bad situation.
