Have you actually asked your employer if they can do away with that 'clown car of "perks"' in exchange for more salary? I would think that would be something you could negotiate as part of any job offer. Accepting a company's employer healthcare and benefits is certainly not mandatory either.

It's not advantageous to do this as an individual under the current tax code. I'd still rather take the perks than pay 35% of it as marginal tax.

What I want is a revision to the tax code that stops making the benefits a tax-efficient vehicle.
