George, think about it:  if an employer fires an employee, does he save just 
the money the employee receives or that money plus all the employee-tied 
taxes?  If the employer is paying money to the government that he wouldn't 
have to if he wasn't employing the employee, then that money is coming out of 
the worker's hide. 

Guess why companies are going thru such great lengths these days to survive 
with as few employees as possible?  Big Brother has made it too damn expensive 
to employ people! 

Honestly, Mr. Greene, your critical thinking skills need serious help.  What's 
scary is that it's people like you who run university economics departments.
