Employees pay for all the pay and benefits that they receive. They also pay all of the taxes that employers pay to the government. There are no freebies, no matter who employs you. Every penny that a corporation pays to the government, insurance company, or anybody else is a penny that it does not have to pay its employees. The stupidest thing that liberals do is call on the government to stick it to corporations. It is like wearing a "kick me" sign around 24-7.

My hourly pay is somewhere in the neighborhood of 30-36 dollars depending on where I work. That's what I get on the check. Insurance and retirement is above that, and in the fringe column, bid into the package at contract time.
