Can you working slobs decide at which rate to pay into SS?
My folks talk about how there was a range of what they could pay. Min to max.
Is that how it is for you poor 9 to 5 bastards?
I can't remember ever having an amount option. I started paying in 1970. Recent research to help memory says it's 6.2 % for the employee, with the employer matching that on behalf of each employee.
Just checked, it was 5% withholding in 1978 & 6.2 beginning 1990.
9-5??? ya think workin folks my age were like some movie? This ain't NYC.
