Just a friendly reminder when someone wonders why they are not making two more dollars an hour. They already are.

Yes. Having the employee and employer "share" SS payments equally is a sleight of hand.

All the employer does is write the check.

My point is the money doesn't just fall out of sky. "Just writing the check" takes a full time employee, and many hours of legal mangling to make sure you are within the tax laws. If you don't think that costs money, try running your own business for 3 months.

Are you one of those who answers "my take home pay is..." when asked how much money do you earn? I'm not trying to be smart, just wondering where you are coming from.
