i get what you are saying, it may seem unfair, but try starting out on your own, you will appreciate all the help you can get.
you clearly dont have any idea of the uncertainty and risk involved in generating not only your own employment, but the employment of others, either directly from hiring people to work for you as you expand or indirectly by using their services. and also, yes, sick, holiday, pensions, child vouchers, medical etc.
it depends what line of business you are in, but when i started i didnt make very much money for several years.
i do believe it is worth something more than working for the man.
little companies can grow into big ones, generating tax revenue and employing many people (mine doesnt, im too scared to do it, and im too much of a control freak, and im comfortable with making a reasonable living). someone has to start these things, and its risky. surely we can have a little bit of a benefit?
