I wonder if you'd take a look at my social justice blog "House On Fire: Thoughts on Saving the World" and perhaps sign up as a follower.

But then I know something you don't - that the vast majority of these programs were designed so that the insurance element was irrelevant. Premiums were periodically adjusted so that deaths did not give rise to gains. Only the tax benefit mattered. So it's no more or less moral than any effort to exploit a loophole that turned out not to be there.<br /><br />All the fuss is about the silly idea that employers were profiting on deaths, when just the opposite was true: the tax benefits accrued while the employees lived; a dead employee was one fewer tree in the orchard. But somehow the headline "Employers profit from employees' survival" just doesn't have that fun "Boss bites grunt" ring to it. But that's the inconvenient truth.
