I haven't read the details but an earlier message said "70x revenue". It is hard to think of a reason not to sell at that multiple.

Nothing to do with nursing per-se, but de-coupling employment from health insurance would be a good thing. I realize that there are lots of other complicated issues with regard to health care and health insurance but I can't think o

OK, well I guess we agree, but your post certainly didn't read as though you agreed with the court's decision. It would be helpful if the press didn't show so much favoritism in its treatment of politicians. Everyone in a pos

The term "socialism" is thrown around a lot but I think it is most often used as a shorthand way to describe the desire to use the power of the federal government to address issues as contrasted with the desire to avoid using the

That makes it even more unlikely that there will be much revenue at all generated by this tax. Seems like the beneficiaries of this new plan will be tax accountants and lawyers creating new complicated business structures to bypass the tax

Haven't read the law, but if the impact is large enough wouldn't some companies think about outsourcing their decision making to a different company? I'm sure the lawyers can come up with an agreement that in day to day oper

Since when is providing some background about your experience considered a negative? You should try to be a bit more generous and not assume, on almost non-existent evidence, that someone is being disingenuous.

1) doesn't justify telling someone their experience means "squat" 2) since when do you have to be vetted/credentialed to participate in a discussion here?

You are just arguing that Paypal did what was necessary given the current law/SEC regulations, which I didn't disagree with. I was trying to lift the scope of the discussion to a larger arena in which the role of the SEC certainly

You are creating a false dichotomy.

I think you are discounting that the two things are directly related. Your take home pay is affected by the choice of your employer to spend money on the benefits. Over time, which is what we are talking about here, the choice of the emplo

Those benefits are income to you. Not taxable income, but they have a non-zero value. They certainly appear on the balance sheet of your employer and represent an increase in their total payroll costs.

I'm not sure exactly what the data shows but total compensation would seem to be the more reasonable thing to look at. In particular the value associated with health insurance and other non-cash compensation has gone up.
