This is something I quickly put together from the US Census.
Each green dot are places where they are over 90% of people with health insurance.
Red dots have less than 90%
Dot size is based on total population

For someone making $500k per year, because of this threshold, social security doesn’t get $40k…. Someone making a million, $102k, $10m, $1.2M.
Curious what the everyone else thinks of this?

Did you know that there are caps to the 6.2% that W2 workers pay, and the 6.2% that their employers pay; 12.4% if you’re self employed.
That threshold for this year is $176.1k this year, which is almost $22k per person, this year.
Why is there a threshold when the system is so “broke?”

1/ Ever since I was in college, in the late 90s, I’ve been hearing about how #insolvent #SocialSecurity #taxes will not be sufficient by the time I’m ready to retire, sometime in the 2040s.

So I once heard Elon Musk once say that socialism is "GDP as a percentage of Government/Private Sector."
I thought to myself, I'd like to measure that... and so I did.
The areas shaded in red below indicate when government contributions to GDP were greater than the private sector.

You can measure the GDP at the local level... total government versus private businesses.
