Obama Emerges

Submitted by DavidE, Jan 7, 2008 22:13

The social security issue is where I think Obama is going to have a tough fight in the long haul. He has proposed getting rid of the wage ceiling on social security. http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/Story?id=3638710&page=1 This is a huge tax increase.

I got a chuckle about John Edwards complaining about Wall Street types not paying social security taxes. He evaded the Medicare tax for years. All his income from his law practice above the wage ceiling were paid in the form of FICA exempt S corp dividends. And that was just to get out of the 1.45% employee and employer Medicare tax.
