So I've come to find out that most people don't know how the payroll tax (FICA taxes) works which is just a 6.2% employee contribution to social security and 1.45% to medicare then the employer has to pay the same amount on the employee contributions for a total contribution of 15.3% (7.65 for the individual and 7.65% paid by the corporation). Right now individuals only have to pay into these two systems on wages up to $138K. Anything in excess of that is not subject to the FICA tax.

I just read that article on CNBC about the highest marginal individual tax rate of 62% that was posted yesterday. These dudes are including the EMPLOYER portion of the payroll tax in the highest marginal INDIVIDUAL rate. Bidens plan calls for those making over 400K to pay the 6.2% social security tax and for employers to match that payment. So that 62% even if you include payroll taxes is really 56% if you look at the individual level, but goes down to 50% if you exclude it altogether. Im not even sure where they are getting their numbers from because right now it is 50.3% (37% federal and 13.3% california state rate) and probably a little higher if you include the current FICA contributions up to 138K. None of this even includes the 39.6% tax benefit individuals would get from removing the SALT cap which would reduce the state rate from 13.3% to 8.033% for a combined rate of 47.63% before any FICA taxes.

So really we are talking with FICA taxes a top rate of 53.8% under biden versus the 50.3% rate now.

I've seen some disingenuous scare tactics before, but that has to be up there at the top of republican ****ery. What a stupid ****ing article.

this is what i was looking in regards to an explanation. Appreciate it brohem

Just to elaborate on this some more.

The CDC released this today. They estimate that there are almost 300,000 excess deaths since the pandemic started. People of color are most affected.

Excess Deaths Associated with COVID-19, by Age and ...

This report describes the estimated excess deaths reported in the United States from late January through October 3, 2020, with 66% excess deaths attributed to COVID-19.

www.cdc.gov

In case people dying isn't bad enough, coronaviruses are associated with awful longterm symptoms and decreased quality of life.

What are the long-term symptoms of COVID?

Rasmussen showing Biden with a slight lead in Ohio.

Ohio: Biden 48%, Trump 46%

Democrat Joe Biden has the edge over President Trump in Ohio, a Republican-leaning state that is a must-win for the president in his bid for reelection.

Over half a million people showed up to watch BaeOC play vidyagames
She really could be a special politician if she continues to do out of the box political outreach like this
Gotta reach the kids where they are. Shame young people aren't a reliable voting bloc.

I love AOC

But being a House Rep might be her ceiling. I can't see her winning a statewide or national race.

Hell if NY loses a House seat and redraws her district to include Westchester, she might be in trouble.
