I love the way money is circulated around.A tax that pays for a benefit but if you use that benefit, you will end up paying a tax.I wonder how many times that money it taxed? …:]

Uh, freedom freak, if you are saying the UE is paid for out of employee wages, you are incorrect; under both Federal and Kansas law, the contributions to the UE funds are made by the employer, and not to be withheld from employee wages. Point of knowledge: FUTA tax is paid by the employer on the first $7000 of each employee’s wages; in Kansas, it is paid on the first $8000 of each employee’s wages. The rate, at the federal level for Kansas employers, is 0.8%; in Kansas, it depends upon the experience rating assigned to the employer. The lowest is .06%.

If you were saying something else, I apologize for misunderstanding.

Well okay…

I suppose the bill will have to be paid by someone if not paid by business.

(looks in dwindling taxpayer wallet)and ponders how the term “win” applies.
