[Always Right]

If I understand correctly, employers pay a payroll tax based on how much they pay us. This is not at all connected to the witholding of taxes from our paycheck.

The payroll tax employers pay is entirely based on what they withold from your check. The employer also much match your FICA taxes.

Sorry for this late response. Let me try to rephrase my point.

I believe the payroll tax is paid entirely by the employer, not witheld from my paycheck. Is that not the case? Ancient Geezer has already said the fair tax plan eliminates the payroll tax.

Shalom.
