In other words, "corporations don't want to pay their overhead, so they are offloading it on all their employees individually instead."

Do companies pay for the gas your car consumes on your way to work and home?

It would be great if governments decided they should instead.

No, it wouldn't. Everyone would have to pay the taxes for that, but not everyone drives a car. Also, there would be no incentive to use cheaper transportation.

In other news, it would be great if I could eat for free and didn't have to pay rent.
