Subject: ever been an employee?


Seymour, IL
While this may be an interesting thought, don't think it will hold water in the long run.
If you were the employee, how would you feel about this?
What if another employer offered better pay, better options. etc.?
fwiw... my off farm employment has allowed me to provide more for my family than I could ever extract from the farm alone.....
and yes, benefits make a difference. Try buying health insurance on the open market for a family of 5 or 6. unless you have independent wealth, this becomes a major reason so many individuals and spouses work off farm.

from your example, everyone would just write a check.... not as easy or realistic as you may think.
YMMV
