Payroll taxes are deductions for SS, Medicare and unemployment insurance
Presumably they are returned to the payee in the form of future benefits
They are NOT federal income tax - that funds the federal govt
Only about 50% of us pay taxes that fund the federal govt
Not only do about 50% NOT help fund the federal govt- they are eaters
They collect federal tax money in faux “ refunds” aka “ earned income credits” aka federal welfare checks
Please
That yellow stuff rolling down our legs is not rain
Sorry, that’s the democrat propaganda you swallowed whole right there. Payroll tax is an income tax that goes to the general fund just like the regular income tax. The democrats propagate the lie to make it harder to change. Not to mention that it is half hidden by the employer “contribution”. So bottom line is that 80% are paying income tax to fund the federal govt.
