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. -- Brian Stretch (bstretch@interramp.com) CI$: 76176,1216 Certified Technojunkie "The way I see it, you never know if people are going to believe the truth or a lie, so I stick with the truth for the sake of consistency"--Me (try it BC!)
