(2,350 posts)If not, then you don't know what you are talking about. If there were socialized medicine and other fine social programs to assist working families, my employees would be a lot happier, and it would cost much less than it does now for the measly benefits we are able to afford. If every worker and employer had to pay into a system to assist ALL workers (and if we didn't subsidize big oil and big business and the fucking war machine), it would be possible to make work a pleasure rather than a worry. So quit the absurdity if you have no idea what it takes to run a small software and engineering firm with educated workers and expensive technology! Sure we could run a Taco John's, but we offer a service here in the US that has all but been shipped overseas where there is free healthcare and maternity leave. Wages aren't everything to a working person you know. Dana
