  • Card 8 / 19:
    The social security tax is 6.2% on employees’ income earned below $113,000. Is this tax progressive, regressive or proportional?

    The tax is regressive because wealthy income earners are not taxed at all on income above $113,000. As a percent of total income, the social security tax hits lower income earners harder than wealthier individuals.
