Maybe REAL employment would make you enough to provide for your family, pay your medical bills, get medical insurance, pay your taxes and other debts. I wonder how many small businesses have *not* been started due to lack of universal health care. The cost of fringes, if any, is figured into the pay package. A business offering its employees a good health care package can pay less in "in the envelope" salary to make up for the health care premiums. In the case of many union negotiated contracts, the total pay package includes health insurance, which the employees pay for and the employer collects.

You ran a failed business in Florida, and failed to pay your taxes and creditors. You aren't in any position to make statements about how businesses are run.
