I certainly don't think you are.
The payroll tax is the worst thing in the feds inventory of tricks. These guys run around talking about how tax cuts benefit the rich, but look at what they're in fact doing to the less wealthy members of our Society.
15%(+/-)of total payroll up to far more than the average annual salary goes to the feds, with no deductions, no exemptions, no nothing. And it falls squarely on the backs of folks with lower income. All to fund a Ponzi scheme that's bound to fail in the forseeable future.
Yessir, gove us your money and we'll be sure to put it in the right place...
Yeah, right...
If you want to see any of your Social Security or Medicare in the future, you are.
