https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/op-eds/democrats-are-pushing-the-biggest-tax-increase-youve-never-heard-of

by Joseph Semprevivo | March 15, 2019 12:05 AM

House Democrats are currently pushing the biggest tax increase that nobody's heard of.

Rep. John Larson, D-Conn., along with more than 200 Democratic cosponsors, recently introduced the Social Security 2100 Act. The legislation would raise the effective payroll tax rate by 2.4 percentage points, split between employer and employee, to 14.8 percent. And this tax increase would apply to all earned income.

At a Capitol Hill hearing this week, I testified about how this tax increase would hurt workers, entrepreneurship, and small businesses like mine.

Larson’s plan would increase small businesses’ annual payroll tax burden per employee earning $50,000 per year by $600, to $3,700. While the plan calls for a donut hole exemption between the current payroll tax cap of $132,900 and $400,000 of earnings, this ceiling is not indexed to inflation, meaning that within a couple of decades all employees, no matter their income, would be subject to it. Eventually, for an employee earning $200,000 a year, a business like mine would have to pay $2,400 more in payroll tax than we do today.

Consider the impact on a business employing 50 people at an average annual salary of $50,000. This tax increase would raise the business portion of payroll tax costs by $30,000, to $185,000. That increase amounts to the cost of hiring one new entry-level employee or giving significant wage increases to existing employees.

Businesses would fund such a tax increases by holding off on hiring or reducing employee wages. It would undo the benefits of the tax cuts that took effect last year and are allowing small businesses like mine to hire, raise wages, and expand.

This payroll tax increase would also directly tax wage increases. This is a peculiar public policy strategy, given the bipartisan push to increase the wages of ordinary Americans. Every time I consider raising an employee’s wages, I would have to factor in the increased costs of this associated payroll tax hike to see if the potential pay raise still makes financial sense.

For some small business owners who operate on tiny profit margins, this tax increase will put them out of business. Consider the restaurant industry, where profit margins pivot around 3 percent. Labor makes up about one-third of their total expenses. To raise restaurants' labor costs by 1.2 percentage points is enough to put some of them out of business altogether.

This proposed tax increase would hurt my employees as much as it would hurt me and other small business owners. For many employees, the payroll tax is the biggest tax burden they face. Raising the payroll tax burden to 7.4 percent will push some workers into poverty. It will prevent other workers from having the funds to make their car or housing payments. It will prevent others from having the funds to take a vacation.

Particularly negatively affected by this tax increase would be sole proprietors, including Uber and Lyft drivers, realtors, and insurance agents — people who, working independently, make up the vast majority of small businesses in this country. Sole proprietors must pay both the employer and employee sides of the payroll tax. This means that a sole-proprietor earning $100,000 would have to pay nearly $15,000 in payroll tax in addition to their federal and state liabilities under this tax proposal, an increase of $2,400 from the current tax regime.

This tax increase would hurt entrepreneurship rates as workers will be disincentivized from striking out on their own in the face of a nearly 15 percent flat payroll tax on their earnings. This is a worrying prospect, given the important role that entrepreneurship plays in job creation, standards of living, and economic growth. I don’t know whether I would have started my business if I had to pay 15 cents in payroll taxes on every dollar I earned.

Competing testimony was offered by the AARP, which supports boosting Social Security payments. As Rep. Tom Rice, R-S.C., indicated at the hearing, while we have to keep our commitment to seniors, we also need to keep our commitment to young people by giving them more economic opportunities, opportunities that this tax hike would curtail.

Another witness was Maya Rockeymoore Cummings, who leads a group called Global Policy Solutions. According to its website, Ms. Cummings has experience "spanning federal, state and local government, academia, think tanks, and nonprofit organizations." Yet, at the hearing she described herself as a small business "expert."

Aside from me, there were no small business owners or ordinary American workers testifying. I would encourage the committee and all politicians to get out and ask these people about whether they want a tax increase before moving forward with Larson's bill. I think people will tell them that they are taxed enough already.

Social Security is in financial trouble. Previously, they have increased the amount of pay that would be taxed. I wonder why that is not considered a better option.

Thank you Sci and Richard, I think. I'm an old woman. I can't say I worked hard, I didn't. I had a job I loved, I did it well, and I had a ball. If my income stopped, I could live between 2 and 3 years with a minimum of sacrifice. According to my PCP, my risk factors are very low.

If things play out the way you, and others on OPP, indicate, I've had it. I am unable to figure out a way to better my situation, but I refuse to worry about it. Thanks to you all, I won't die from the shock of what happens.

First, think of our brains in terms of gray matter. Now, when we are conceived, this gray matter is poured into our heads by Angels, and it’s fluid, allowing thoughts to travel in every way imaginable. The gray matter slowly begins to congeal, and by our twenties, it’s a solid mass. By our forties, a few cracks, minor flaws, appear. By our sixties, narrow crevices are formed. And seeing as I’m only in my sixties, I can’t imagine what the next twenty years may produce, but the prospects don’t seem good.

Second, I see our memories are linked by what I see as a road system. When we’re born, and until we are about five, we have a small enough amount of memories stored, and the roads are all local and easy to travel. By five and through our thirties, our brains start paving highways, but the traffic is still manageable. By forty, a few of the highway bridges and overpasses collapse, so short local detours are set-up and it sometimes takes a second or two longer than it use to to remember. By sixty, whole sections of the highways are closed, and the local detours have detours, and there are times we need to call for help to remember. And again, seeing as I’m only in my sixties, I can’t imagine what the next twenty years may produce, but the prospects don’t seem good.

Sounds about right, as far as I can remember. When I hit 80, somebody set off a bomb, threw chunks of the road every which way. I hope, by the time I'm 90, I will have figured out what detour goes where. I'm slowly making progress,. I think.

Yes. I remember that his son warned him about it and was ignored. Some times we should listen to our kids.
