NOT! Anything your employer pays comes out of his pocket just like your paycheck. It’s money he could have paid you instead of wasting it 50% of it in Washington before it rolled back into your pocket. He could have reinvested it in your retirement, or hired new employees and lowered your workload. It is a federal mandate as well:
Why do people agree to these federal programs that give 50% returns on the dollar for a “Safety Net” that is sinking out economy in debt![/quote]
Nice link. But there is nothing in there to substantiate 50% overhead. And you just repeated the same uninformed crap. It’s NOT primarily funded out of Washington, it’s a state program. Stick your fingers in your ears all you want when you’re told facts that don’t conform to your ideology. It doesn’t change the facts. Your 50% return model doesn’t work. Every government program is not the same. Just like some Ron Paul advocates can make better arguments than others.
And sdrealtor is right. If employers didn’t pay it, you wouldn’t get it. They would.
