But I’ve figured it out now. They don’t want employers to have to contribute their share to SS and Medicare. Not only would that enrich already rich people, but then they’d hope to get their hands on people’s retirement money and health care dollars. There is only one thing that Republicans care about - giving more and more money to rich people.
