This just highlights the absurdity of having your employer responsible for your health insurance and managing your taxes for you.

These should be handled by the government, equally for all.

This is certainly possible, but it's called communism.

No. Private insurance could still be an option.

Moving some function to the government doesn’t eliminate the need for it. Something would still need to tell the government what you’re paid unless you’re advocating for anarchy or communism.

Also, part of that etc is doing payroll so there’s some reason for you to show up at work every day.
