IF (and this is a BIG if) companies cut their health benefits all together, people will then stop withholding income taxes to avoid the penalty (assuming they don't get insurance).
If that happens then every April 15th the people will be writing checks to the IRS instead of getting a refund.
This is an extremely unlikely scenario, but I always thought that if income tax withholding was banned, a lot in this country would be better.
Why do they need a committee and hearings and demands for documents to show what we peasants were saying all along?
Honestly, the statists think they are smarter than the peasants. If they were, they would be running these companies (and not into the ground). I think politicians have proven their inability to perform basic arithmatic, so I really don't see how they were going to find errors in the companies' estimates.
