Why We Should Abolish the Social Security Tax
Second, the social tax should be abolished. The government is simply unable to provide adequate social security services.
Take Mike's example again: in Germany he has to pay about €16,289 in social security taxes. That is insane.
So I believe we should scrap the social security tax, but require people to save for themselves, and those savings should be tax exempt.
Happy to argue about it in the comments! :)
