    Maybe you’ve never looked at your payroll taxes, but you pay separately into Social Security. It’s independent from state and federal taxes.

    I guess I’m fit enough to derive your intended thought from that garbled confusion of democratically socialized taxation and Darwinism. Lol

        Social Security is not taxation. It’s a government socialized retirement program, independent of state and federal taxes.

            It’s compulsory, but withdrawn separately from your gross income. You’ll see it listed as a separate line on your pay stubs as well as your income tax form.
