Yes AB.

Not sure why you are paying BOTH parts of FICA unless you refer to your own FICA payments.

Which goes up to 15% or thereabouts as I recall.

It’s not that Rush is totally wrong with his assertion that, most likely, if the employer didn’t have to match the medicare and social security the employees would probably have higher pay.

It’s just very vague and using Rush’s logic, if unemployment insurance weren’t on the employer, or workman’s comp insurance....then, of course, the employee will make more take home pay.

There is no such assurance and it’s just a bit misleading.

Rush stated, on the air, that the employer DOES NOT match the FICA and HI deducts, that if comes out of the employee’s gross pay he WOULD have gotten....

....lookit, again, Rush Limbaugh has not gotten a paycheck in many years. It’s misleading and inaccurate how he states it.

While Rush Limbaugh is smarter than me about most everything, he needs to stay away from paychecks.

I know all there is to know about that.

Once I even paid the president of the United States.

Serious.

And while I’m at it, on a personal note....

.....I spent my entire life knowing what everyone I worked with made.

I hated it.

First, there’s something about people knowing you know their salary, that makes them very open about their private lives.

Now I’m a gossip as much as most anyone but after a while it gets old.

And I’d often hear people asserting that they know for a fact that Sally makes ten grand more than anybody in the department, that Joe Blow just got a promotion.

Heh.

Had to keep my chuckle to myself.

All my life....been paying people. Now that I am retired...DO NOT TELL ME HOW MUCH MONEY YOU MAKE!!!

I don’t want to know.
