I therefore demonstrated: a) that private health cover was less than a quarter of the cost of social security and that b) they would achieve a better return on their investment if they simply took the money that would have gone to the government and invested it privately and that c) in any case even by the time I am 57 in 2029 there would be no money left in the social security fund so there would be no pension.<br><br>They will be much better off financially.<br><br>Finally the clue is in your question, "It was the policy", What is policy?

I presume that you have spoken to the SS and Income Tax Departments about this proposal.There was a clamping down some years ago against pseudo self employed people who actually worked for a primary employer, Then the policy was to treat them as employeees with all the rights that follow from that relationship. Not least of course is the "right" of government to be able to collect taxes and keep people in tidy, predictable boxes. Did your staff ask for this new "freedom"? Slaves traditionally did not instigate any reforms that affected them...<br>Tom Gruchy wondersAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
