    It’s actually insane how little payroll deductions hit when you’re at the 401k and social security max for the year. It’s normal to see 1-2k more per check. Everyone benefits directly or indirectly from social security and we should all pay into it.

      Yeah, who cares about the family with a 50k household income…

      The cap allows people who can already max out their 401k to get an extra 1-2k every check the last couple months of the year!

      You’ve changed my mind good sir

      Obviously the wealthy deserve that extra income.

        I’m not sure I phrased it correctly, I was saying that it’s insane that checks get larger for the wealthy. I don’t like it either. I fully agree with your point that the cap should be removed.

          You phrased it correctly, they read it wrong.
