You want demonstrable media bias, right on you monitor, right now?

Go to CNN and find the Tea Party coverage. Good luck.

No fair using the search function, but even that is none too helpful.

If your paying income tax on your 401k AND your health benefits.......your getting ripped off. 401k contributions come out of your pay pre tax and Obama hasn't gotten taxing of health care benefits through Congress YET.

.
16% fed income tax
15.3% Fica and medicare
You're already over 30%

Add in the rest, sales tax, property, state income tax, gas, phone, all the little stuff - you'd be lucky if that's only another 14%.

So you're up to ~45%. Enjoy!

I was not clear on my post.

Overall 30% of my paycheck is taken out. I obviously do not pay taxes on my 401k deductions.

Incorrect.


It's 7.65% combined.

If you are going to attempt to correct me, at least be right.

Thumbs down wow

I hope that video isnt an indication of the simpletons at those bagger parties. You really shouldnt throw out words like "fascist" on national television if you cant even explain what it means.

The FDR lie catches yet another clueless drone. Your employer 'pays' 7.65% as well. Do you think that he does this out of charity? Do you maybe think that if he didn't have to pay the government for you, this 7.65%, he would pay you 7.65% more?

You pay it, you just never see it. A grand FDR deception. Well done, lying socialists.

That page from SSA doesn't seem to mention any of this. I wonder why?

The reporter is bad enough but, unless this was live feed, the real blame belongs squarely on the shoulders of CNN. Whose agenda was it really and what were her marching orders? Do you realize how much footage is shot just to get 3-4 minutes for a segment? Her producers had the final say in what was aired and what was edited. Another classic example of media bias at CNN.
