Well then why not tax all employer provided healthcare? In fact why not tax all employer provided benefits. You know, like:If you work at a diner, how about that free meal your employer provides? $5 X 5 days per week for 50 weeks. Hey that's $1250 in income we could tax. If you work for an airline, how about those free airline tickets. Say 4 times a year at $400 per - there's another $1600 we could tax. How about free transportation for rail workers. Even AMTRAK workers get free travel. Lets not forget the politicians and the free offices that they are provided. Why not tax that. The private businessman has to pay for his office space. And while we're at it, lets also tax the free haircuts and the free gym. Hey how about the free living expenses that we give the president, the governors and in many cases the mayors. Why are we singling out upper management if it's not wealth distribution? |
