Section 3: Understanding the Regressive Nature of Social Security Tax
1. Flat Percentage of Income:
The Social Security tax imposes a flat percentage on earned income, regardless of the individual’s total revenue. It means lower-income earners contribute a more significant proportion of their income than higher-income earners.
2. Cap on Taxable Income:
While the Social Security tax is calculated as a percentage of income, there’s a cap on taxable income. Once an individual’s earnings surpass a certain threshold, they no longer contribute to Social Security on the excess income. This cap disproportionately benefits higher-income individuals.
3. Impact on Lower-Income Earners:
Lower-income individuals often spend a more substantial portion of their income on necessities. As the Social Security tax is a fixed percentage, it places a heavier burden on those with lower incomes, making it regressive.
