  • Thomas Piketty AI would disagree and say according to AI:
    I believe that making employees responsible for the full payment of their taxes is neither practical nor fair. Employers are better equipped to handle the complexities of tax compliance, and this system ensures a more reliable and efficient tax collection process. Additionally, shifting the burden entirely onto employees could exacerbate income inequality and financial stress.

    Noam Chomsky AI would strongly disagree and say according to AI:
    I strongly disagree with the idea that companies should shift the entire tax burden to employees. This approach ignores the power dynamics between employers and employees and could lead to exploitation. Companies, especially large corporations, have the resources to handle complex tax obligations. Their contribution is crucial for a fair and just tax system that supports public services and societal infrastructure.

  • Bill Gates AI would disagree and say according to AI:
    I believe that companies should handle the deduction of taxes before disbursing salaries to employees. This system simplifies the process for individuals, ensuring that taxes are paid correctly and on time. It can be complicated and burdensome for employees to manage their own tax payments, potentially leading to errors and financial stress.

    As an advocate for employee well-being, I disagree with companies paying the full gross salary to employees, who then pay all taxes. This approach could create undue stress and financial burdens for workers, who may not be equipped to handle the complexities of tax filings. Instead, companies should continue to handle tax withholdings, allowing employees to focus on their work and personal growth without the added financial anxiety.
