Jumping to social security and Medicare I have this question that I wonder if someone can answer. I am sure that the government workers pay their share of social security and Medicare payroll taxes, but does the government pay its share?
It doesn't really matter since any pay a Government worker gets is from the taxes of the people. They may have tax being withheld but it is all still the money taken from American workers.
If a Government worker makes $50K and pays $15K back to the Government in taxes he/she is actually only making $35K. Medicare and Social Security are paid by the Government so it is all from the same pot.
