I find that's an interesting comment to be made. Since employment insurance is an insurance, you are paying a premium. It's supposed to be there for those people who are paying the premium. Hence, that's why we have always called it a tax, because essentially what happened was those premiums were then taken away and used for other government priorities, making it essentially a tax. As much as people don't like to hear that, it's what it is. It's funny to me when they say that it's just an accounting change when, in fact, that money, from our perspective, came from employers and employees, and it includes some interest on top of that.
Fundamentally, most employers to this day still feel very strongly that the money was taken out of the system and away from them.
