I'm sorry! I was assuming you were an American. We pay 12.4% to the Social Security system. The employee contributes half, the employer contributes half. If you are self-employed like I am you pay both halves. In reality, even if you have an employer you are paying both halves because the money the employer is contributing is money that he is NOT paying you in wages.

That is similar with our National Insurance the higher that goes the less likely an employer is to take someone on. This is where Tony Blair did the stealth tax he said there would be no increase in payroll tax and then they increased national insurance which of course is a typical left wing tactic and is of course lying by default.
For those of you out there that do not like my party leader he defended George Bush on TV tonight. Michael Howard is attacking Tony Blair on various issues and saying that Blair lied over many things not just the Iraq war.
Michael Howard was then asked if he thought George Bush lied over Iraq and immediately Howard said no that President Bush majored on regime change and breaking of UN resolutions not just WMDs. Thought I would just pass this on by the way Michael Howard agrees with George Bush on this and he feels the war should have been put to the UK Parliament under this basis.
