    NJ has the same problem most blue states have... a corrupted Urban area. Where North-Eastern NJ, Trenton and Newark go... so goes the state. Most of NJ is HIGHLY conservative.

    I just went through Trenton the other day (on the way to NY). That whole area needs an Extreme Makeover.

    If payroll tax doesn't count for the 45% who pay "no taxes" it doesn't count for corporations either.

    If corporations don’t get any benefit from payroll taxes then it does. Sure people pay ‘half’, but then they are entitled to some benefits

    I don't really know what you mean here. Are you talking about those who pay no Federal/State/Local taxes because they don't earn enough, or have enough deductions/exemptions to offset? The employer doesn't pay those. They just collect out of the paycheck and remit to the government. But the employer pays it's share of FICA/FUTA/SUTA on every employee.

    I’m talking FICA, because people who ‘correct’ that 45% don’t pay taxes bring up the payroll FICA tax.

    I think it was optional for us. Had to pick like 4 books from the summer reading list or something and it was one of them.

    Anybody have any suggestions?

    Everyone who collects a paycheck pays payroll tax. That is what I mean.

    So if you're not counting it as paying taxes for low income workers that don't pay income tax, or is disingenuous to use it as an example of why companies that can use accounting practices to have no taxable profit are still paying plenty of taxes.

    To be clear, I couldn't care less whether you count it in a discussion on income tax. Just be consistent.
