So what's the difference between requiring health care payment for workers, or social security tax? Should there now be a visible 6.25% (?) SS tax added to all checks because employers need to pay that for all employees? Every bill I've every seen lists city & state (were applicable) sales tax, but I've never seen a listing for business tax, real estate tax, insurance (also required by law, but still the business's obligation). There are also probably annual licenses that need to be renewed, 'mandated' by a gov't agency (local, state, federal) but almost certainly unfunded by the gov't.
