The real fucking pisser of the whole thing is that Uncle Sam reaches into my pocket for 6.2% of my gross earnings for Social Security, week in and week out. I don't get a break for the Holiday season, I don't get time off for good behavior.... I just do my duty to my fellow man and pay my taxes.

These motherfuckers here making 399 times the average employee's pay or more wind up capping out on Social Security some time in the early spring.... sometimes in the FIRST WEEK OF JANUARY....

so not only do I subsidize their grotesque wealth by being paid less than my due, not only do most of them pay a lower tax burden as a percentage of their overall income than I do, but they get to say "WOO HOO!!!! I earned too much to pay any more of this one tax!"

fuck that noise, save the system, pop the cap.

"Are CEOs simply 399 times more productive than their workers?"

I hereby request committee hearings featuring Katie Porter and her whiteboard of doom.
