I wouldn't bundle the employer's portion of FICA when talking about an employee's tax because then we'd need to add in all the other expenses related to carrying that employee to be consistent. . I think the other expenses should be considered if they are taxes and if they are directly based on what they employee is paid. Tim

I've been hiring guys all week to help at work with landscaping and such. In order to avoid all the paperwork and liability I hire the guys from Labor Ready for $11 an hour. The workers only get paid minimun wage. Where did the difference go? It's not that I need LaborReady to find people for me. I know several guys I've hired in the past and I pay them $10/hour cash. It's because of the government that these poor people make %40 less than they otherwise would. Can you imagine busting your ass in 95 degrees shoveling rock all day for less then $6/hour.
