It makes a lot of sense, its not my fault if you can't understand basic economics. But I'll make a more concrete example for you to make it easier. If you get $50K in salary, and $10K in health insurance subsidies from your employer, and they remove the subsidies, then you demand more money or other benefits, or go somewhere else. If the government is taxing the $10k from you in order to pay for the insurance that you used to get through your company, you have an even greater incentive to demand more salary or higher wages. If instead it nominally taxes the company, then the company is indirectly providing the same funds it provided before, just funneling them through the government. The cost doesn't go away.
