It does make sense if you are the employer and can set the wages. Paying them and taxing them or just paying them the part they'd get to keep anyway
Gotta extract surplus value one way or another but you don't have to do it at every single opportunity.
I don't think it's really that much different if it is bigger pay and you pay taxes on it or smaller pay and no taxes on it. Where I live the tax is omitted automatically soit's a similar sort of situation either way
Well you see the difference is that under capitalism the surplus goes towards building some billionaires thirds yacht while in socialist Albania the surplus goes towards building enough bunkers to protect every man, woman and child.
Hah I see the difference
