I think this is the beginning of the end of employers owning us. The next step is to make health care payments on the exchanges tax deductible. Then, all jobs will be 30 hours a week and folks will be poorer in dollars but richer in time, or work more than one of these jobs. Companies will eventually have a hard time finding workers, so wages will go up some. We'll stop buying cheap Chinese stuff and live with less. Maybe we'll even have communities and help each other again.
