Subject: Taxing employees for Health Benefit Premiums Paid by Employers

Comment: I believe it should be done.

Most of the folks that I know of that have an employer who pays 80%-100% of the cost of covering an employee (and in many of those cases also contributes towards the cost of dependents) fall into the higher income tax bracket and can afford the extra tax. I'm tired of seeing people who are making good money cry about having to pay taxes, we all have to pay taxes. How about getting involved and making sure that your tax dollars are well spen instead of trying to find ways to get out of paying taxes. A lot of those same people who complain about being over taxed aren't out there giving time to their community, volunteering at school etc...

If it weren't for tax dollars there wouldn't be roads to drive on, public schools to send your children too....

I say tax them, and that includes me because we fall into that scenario.
