“Deutsche Bank unveiled a new report Tuesday that said people who choose to work from home should be taxed 5% of their salary, with the revenue generated going to help people who cannot work from home.

“The report states a 5% ‘privilege’ tax could benefit workers who don’t have the opportunity to stay home.” //

This tax is another form of tyranny; a way for the government to dictate how your income can be spent, and to diminish the incentives for making the choice to work on your own. It’s a naked incursion on your economic freedom. //

It also punishes ingenuity and the ability to hustle. Independent work separates the worker bee from the drone. People who have (or want to have) the ability to further themselves, are the ones that think outside the box, and find creative ways to get and keep work on their terms; those that need the structure of time, place, and job description are cut from a different cloth. Both serve and contribute to the economy, and to the community. One should not be penalized for the benefit of the other.

This Privilege Tax, the PRO Act, and S.4378 only serve to reward and codify one model, and eliminate the other.

Mark my words: A Biden-Harris administration will work to restrict any form of business that does not involve Labor Union control, and these bills and proposals are the tools in their arsenal.
