In addition, the governmental unit is also taxed in another manner by having to pay for example the ER portion of withholding at 7.65% ... or perhaps you think all governments are somehow not obligated to pay this to the feds (or even the feds themselves by shorting their employees of that payment)?????Interesting. pigdog, temporarily out of a schizo moment, is saying the ER portion of the payroll tax is part of the employee wage yet never brings that up in any of the "100% paycheck" arguments. That would put him at odds with his bosses at AFFT and his cohorts (and himself) who use the ER portion for their price reduction calculations.That certainly puts the lie to your "crap" statement and it's something you Squirrels ALWAYS ignore when attempting your Chicken Little approach to tax-terrorization of the uninformed. You seem to think that 7.65% of all government wages is chopped liver. Got news for you - it ain't! In addition, as has been pointed out to you more than once by other posters, not all governmental employees' wages would be subject to the FairTax ... but you've chosen to ignore that too and go on pretending 100% would be taxed while the ER portion is merely ignored.
Just exactly what is included or not included in a "100% paycheck"?
Guess you really don't grasp that the ER portion goes to the employees' entitlement accounts, not to the employees and if it's not paid presently then the employee is shorted in his entitlement.
It does not go to the employee himself and never has - nor has anyone supporting the FairTax claimed that ... only you so far as I know; but that's your M. O.
See Paragraph 24 on page 5, and Paragraph 28 on page 6.
Looks like the AFFT is at it again double counting the alleged benefits.
