Default Re: [OT] Another heated discussion about the Iraq siutation, war and politics.

Well, let's see. The Social Security tax, the largest of the payroll taxes, is the creation of the liberal darling FDR, and if Bush suggested cutting that, every liberal in the country would be screaming their heads off at the unfairness of it all. Then there is the Medicare tax. The liberals would love it if Bush suggested cutting that one, because they could immediately begin slamming him for cutting services to the elderly. There isn't much else to cut that I can remember on a paycheck stub. Of course, since I haven't seen a real paycheck in over a year (good thing I'm one of those wealthy conservatives), I may have forgotten something. And, yes, I am familiar with the so-called payroll taxes, as I have to pay SE tax on what contracting I can scrounge up, so I get to pay double Social Security. Oh, and you'll have to forgive me for taking the measly $400 per kid, I kind of like feeding them.
