Oh, and BTW the tax on government noneducational employees is 23% of gross wages, not the notoriously-wrong "30%"Oh, and BTW, both the AFT and Kotlikoff use 30% exclusive to determine the revenue generated by taxing the wages of government employees. Who are we to believe? The AFT and Kotlikoff, or pigdog? If it's 23% exclusive, as you claim, then their rate calculations are incorrect and would have to be adjusted up.
Please provide a link to each of the 2 sources you mention that you believe demonstrate your claim since 23% of gross wages of noneducational employees with government as a taxable employer is the correct figure.
