Not only have most small business owners paid the max but their contributions to match their employees is well above that. During my business life I have had an average of $800,000 in payroll each year. Someone calculated that that is over 100,000 (@14%) in additional money I paid the government for the so called “trust fund” matching contribution. And let me tell you as a small business owner that comes right off the top of the income my little business earns. And let me tell you another thing...I am going to take whatever those bastards pay me back in my own SS with both fists !!!
Right on Mick!
