FICA, which is a tax on income.
Wrong again Polk.
FICA is capped by law. When the Democrats passed this law they included this cap. Are you saying having everyone paying $6,500 or less into Social Security is unfair to poor people?
Take me for example...I make 200k a year. When I reach the cap FICA is no longer taken out of my check. My contribution comes out to about 6500 dollars. Someone who earns only 50k a year only pays about 3,000 dollars a year into FICA. How is that not a fair policy? I paid into Social Security to meet the lawfully mandated cap.
How is someone being paid less than you being taxed at double the rate you are a fair policy?
and this is where your fallicy of an argument fails miserably. We all pay into FICA THE EXACT SAME AMOUNT and are TAXED AT THE EXACT SAME RATE.
