We are talking about social security cost to the employee, not all the other cost associated with operating a business. It is the individual employee who receives social security benefits at retirement, not his employer. These benefits come at a cost to that employee, half of which is misrepresented to him as being paid on his behalf by his employer. This is purposeful dishonesty as without his labor, there are no social security taxes generated and this PARTICULAR cost to the employer disappears. The entire cost relative to social security exist because of the employee’s Labor. His labor triggers this and pays the entire cost.
You are economically ignorant.

Nonsense. Nothing is misrepresented to the employee. The employer pays half the social security.
“This is purposeful dishonesty as without his labor, there are no social security taxes generated and this PARTICULAR cost to the employer disappears.”
Nothing dishonest except yourself. Without the employers expense of capital investment and many other things that are NOT PART OF LABOR, there is no business, no jobs and no income for labor, and no social security paid by anyone.
Revenue IS NOT MERELY a “return on labor”, period. It is a return on all the things the employer paid for.
You have a totally Marxist view of the economics of jobs.
