Income tax on employees is a tax on the business

That's right, if my income gets taxed more, it's my employer that could default on his mortgage.
You are being sarcastic, but yes that is indeed how it works.

Increased payroll taxes increases expenses for the business and if expenses increase enough business will go under.

Wage taxes suck for the employee, but they are not the only party affected.

The amount of disconnect from reality is staggering.
