Really, they were after the huge companies like Intel who use these subcontracting agencies and pay no benefits, thus using taxpayers to subsidize healthcare.


Just occurred to me: This is the height of bogosity. Who doesn't use "subcontractors"? I have a gardener. He has employees who do the actual work. What bennies does he pay? I have no idea. Is it my business? No; it's his.

I take my car into an auto shop. It needs a valve regrind. Do they do it? No. They send it out to a specialist subcontractor who does that. Should they ask to see the employee bennie package before they do that? Should I?

Is everyone everyone else's keeper?

You really want me stick my nose into every aspect of your business? Potentially I might be giving you work and I might not like what you do.

You make Communism look like a good deal.
