    what the hell are you blabbering about? is english your first language or is this a translation because you make no sense

    first off, you are the one who said by not saying anything about X, its "implied" that they are REALLY talking about X. in your head maybe, but you cant hold someone accountable for what you ASSUME someone elses words, or lack of them mean

    you get your FICA back though (in some form or another) you dont get your "taxes" back though

    Ill ceed that point to a degree. but any state taxes should not be included.

    no, its not. stop being disengenious. Romney care was a single state issue, which makes it constitutional according to the 10th. This is not the same thing at all.

    now, if another state implemented it (not the fed) you could still call it romney care

    why would you bring state sales taxes into the topic of federal taxes? as for FICA, I would argue its not a tax per se but more like insurance

    fair enough points. but it all boils down to choice. you always could have bought a mac. you always could have bought netscape (back in the day) if business didnt base its builds on active x (and now silverlight) it wouldnt be browser specific. the people who made the tools always could have stayed strictly HTML compliant, they chose not to. I cant fault microsoft for bad business practices of others.

    If anything one could argue the exact opposite, due to M$ policy, it caused others to get outraged and make competing products better.

    i get your points, I know I hated that time when IE dominated the landscape as much as anyone else and was so happy when mozilla came to the rescue. but I would hardly call any of that "harm". I mean they could just not exist at all, and we wouldnt have a lot of what we do have today. you can make the same complains against any big company, ma bell, the railroads, electricity. while it may not be perfect, its STILL orders of magnitude better than the previous generation

    Technically, a payroll tax is a tax paid by the employer based on its payroll. An example would be the employer portion of U.S. Social Security (Old Age and Survivor’s Insurance or OASI) or unemployment insurance (FUTA, for Federal Unemployment Tax Act). There may be all sorts of variations, such as limits on the level of wages on which the Social Security tax is applied. Colloquially, I’ve heard the term used for the entire Social Security program, including the employee portion, as you suggest. The income tax comes from the employee based on their income and, from a theoretical or policy (but perhaps not from a psychological) standpoint, is considered distinct. The money isn’t earmarked the same way as OASI or FUTA money. You can read about these topics in standard textbooks or dictionaries of economic or public policy terminology.

    if im reading this correctly, it looks like the payroll tax is paid by the business, not the employee while the income tax is paid by the employee.

    just because they can doesnt mean they should. the top 50% of americans already pay just shy of 100% of the taxes in this country, top 1% pays almost 40%!

    Let me phrase it this way "how much of ones own money do YOU think they deserve to keep, and how much do you feel the government "deserves" to take away from those who earned it??

    we are talking about total dollars, not percentages. you said you want them to pay their fair share, well they are as this article shows. being that that top 1% give the governement 38% of ALL money the government gets and the top 50% pay 97% of the total. meaning the bottom 50% share paying 3% of all taxes

    long story short the "rich dont pay their fair share" is a myth created by bleeding hearts to get votes, thats it
