It was a legitimate question. Currently, employers match dollar for

the employee SS tax contribution. If you remove the employee cap, by

Can't be too careful with you tax and spend liberals, you know.


What's the cap now? Over $100k I think.
Check small business wages.
Here's one source.

About $32k.
Might affect 1% of small business wage earners - if that.
So the guy making a million will add what 30 small business wage
earners add.
Maybe the boss will say "Hey, have to cut your salary 7% of everything
past $100k so my business doesn't suffer. So now you're only making
$937k."
Think the guy will quit because he's now kicking in only what 28 small
business wage earners are kicking in?
Might be a tremendous insult to him, thinking he is being devalued.
Not sure.

It depends on the business. There are many small businesses with employees
that have salaries over 100K, particularly in high tech or engineering
fields.
