The ER FICA 7.65% would no longer be paid by the government since it is no longer a wage-based charge.
You have written proof of that?
The infamous "unelected bureaucrats raising taxes" ploy you've continually tried (unsuccessfully) to use isn't correct and never has been.
`(d) Old-Age, Survivors and Disability Insurance Rate- The old-age, survivors and disability insurance rate shall be determined by the Social Security Administration. The old-age, survivors and disability insurance rate shall be that sales tax rate which is necessary to raise the same amount of revenue that would have been raised by imposing a 12.4 percent tax on the Social Security wage base (including self-employment income) as determined in accordance with chapter 21 of the Internal Revenue Code most recently in effect prior to the enactment of this Act. The rate shall be determined using actuarially sound methodology and announced at least 6 months prior to the beginning of the Calendar year for which it applies.
They merely determine the split of tax revenue required to fund the S/S entitlement as required by S/S law
Merely determine the split of tax revenue? Where does SS law require a split of revenue? So pigdog says SS won't determine sales tax rates, they'll just take money from somewhere else if they need more, like money from defense or whatever.

It really doesn't matter what you say anymore. You're either completely wrong or your lying. Either way, or in your case, both ways, you're certainly demonstrating that you aren't much of a spokesperson for any legitimate cause...Well, maybe Communism if that were a legitimate cause.

Lay off the continual personal attacks. This thread is already in SBR so you have nothing to gain by doing that and to me it's like water off a duck's back.

You should read my post on the mater more thoughtfully so that you can understand that what it says is correct. You can look it up on this thread and educate yourself.
