It's reasonable to state that also as a tax that the employee pays.

No it isn't. If your employer can spend less to employ you then they will keep the profit for themselves, not share it with you.

Are you being paid minimum wage? No? Then there's something you're not considering.

There is at least some competition for your labor, and making it dramatically more expensive to employ you will have some effect on how much money you can get.
