Cause its the same difference?
You cannot get paid more than you produce and your employer does not care under what flag that cost arises.
Whatever the cost of employing you happens to be, you must produce that and more or else you are a shitty investment.
BTW, you carry the most part of corporate taxes too, if you are employed by one. That was up in the air for a long time, and the money was on the owners, the customers or the employees, turns out the employees have won yet again!
Its not called the dismal science for nothing. [/quote]
Well I believe employers are paying like 60%-80,% give or take, of the premium. So, I have no idea what you’re talking about. Take the additional cost, put the percent to it, they pay more.[/quote]
Look:
Lets us say you buy a truck.
That truck costs you. You have to pay gas and tires maintenance and taxes and whatnot.
There is a bottom line, this is what it costs you.
It better make more than what it costs you, or else you wont buy it, because you would be losing money.
Now, you are similar to that truck. I dont care and neither does your employer what you call the money he pays you. You can call it a salary, witheld income tax, the employers share to whatever, it does not matter, you better make more money for him than he pays you or else you are out.
Bottom line, it comes out of your paycheck.
WHERE ELSE WOULD IT COME FROM?
