Except the wealthy. Those who make over $108,000 won't have any tax increase at all on the funds over that amount.

^^^^^^^^^ forgetting, actually at this point ignoring the fact the top half are paying 97% of income taxes.

What does income tax have to do with payroll taxes? Nothing at all.

But hey, if you want to talk all taxes, the bottom half pay a far larger percentage of their income to taxes than your beloved wealthy, who make out like bandits.

I only pay 15% on capital gains. A portion of my income I don't pay any SS taxes on at all. Meanwhile, you pay all that, and more. Enjoy :-) Keep working your ass off for me, Dell. I do appreciate it.

Bottom Line!

And the fact payroll taxes are supposed to pay for SS and Medicare.

Get rid of SS and medicare and make the average american responsible for him/herself and there would be no need for the tax. Talk about helping small businesses.

Keep working and paying those taxes for me, Dell. I appreciate it! My taxes are not going up as much as yours are. And you say you want to get rid of SS and Medicare, but the GOP just voted an increase in funding those programs, paid for by a tax increase on you. What side are you on? The tax for government programs side, it appears, the GOP side?

Now you know why I have been a lifetime Republican :-) They will never get rid of my benefits. Maybe yours. They talk a good story, but it keeps people in line, believing the opposite of what they really do. Good luck, keep voting GOP for me!
