Gosh, I've never of the MESS, what are you talking about?   What is the MESS?   The MESS is a combination of several socialized government programs that everyone who works pays for by one means or another.  The core of the MESS is Social Security, Medicare, Workmen's Comp, Unemployment and Health Care (at least as a tax deduction).  While all of these are laudable benefits of a government run social marketplace, the questions begs to be asked is it necessary, constitutional or even desirable to have government providing these programs from employer mandates?
