or passed ball? (4:40 to 5:20)
OK, maybe a mangled metaphor, but specifically...
It seems to me that if the (above hypothetical) employee is afraid of the employer's taxes being raised, then neither have a clue as to how the economy or taxes work or in too many cases doesn't. Just as a simple exercise, if the employer can profit without an employee he would anyway, and taxes are on profits or net, not gross.
See Today's Updates: and note that the president's proposal not having the public option belies Republican protests, and in fact only proposes that the public have the Senate's options. Indeed, one should wonder how many Senator's are choosing not to take their Federal Option and have faith in the free market?

Economic Policy Institute (ironic)
I ran across the former and checked the latter, and note that they agree more needs to be done. Not that a balanced picture can be taken easily.

[Brilliant :-) advice]
I almost went out on a limb and sawed if off, and then did, but here goes again. Why not have the public option compete with for profits at a reasonable mark up? What would that be? 15% not counting bonuses? More likely 5% might be reasonable. Now I think we see who is on a limb and who might be more reasonable. Incidentally, with Carter recently complaining about comparisons, Nixon should be rolling in his grave, probably with laughter. Let alone Obama/Clinton.

Or maybe "fomenting" is more like it, not to mention balanced pitchers.
It would be worth while to get to the bottom of complaining (the link), not to mention how other presidents had what to face, and how far we have come in relation to oil, foreign policy and economics. It is a real Laffer, and incidentally the limb I went off on.
