When I owned several businesses I never passed on savings to employees just because I saved them, whether they were from tax breaks, volume purchase savings or any ther type. Hard to believe any reasonable for profit business owner would either.

Other than picking that nit I understand your point and agree that it is obvious without any advanced calculations at all that more people pay more in payroll taxes than income tax. After all fortunately there are more poor people than rich ones.
