This and That (open thread)
Submitted by Wink on Sun, 05/28/2017 - 4:16pm1. How much more Social Security, Medicare, and All social Safety Net program goodies could we have if every American worker - some 140 million or so - were given a $2 /hr. raise across the board - from min. wage workers to CEOs?
The tax dollars from that $2 /hr. raise would generate $1 Billion payroll tax dollars /week (at roughly 12% tax rate) = $52 Billion extry tax dollars /year.
