[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I thought benefits only went to DC residents. Not people working for dc based companies. [/quote]

Read the article in today's post. As written they go to anyone who works in DC, regardless of where they live. Calculations are that fully 64% of these taxes levvied on DC businesses will benefit non D.C. residents. It's scandalous legislation from ultra liberal Elisa Silverman supported by all but two of her fellow councilmembers. This is their priority these days.[/quote]

But those VA and MD residents are paying the extra .62 payroll tax on their entire income.  It has no income cap for contributions like social security and the benefit is designed for lower income workers.  The tax is based on employment not rsidency like a property tax.

DC undercollects on property tax.  I have friends paying absurdly low amounts based on what the house would list /sell amounts.  DC has bigger problems than this new BS with the "imitation" guns.  Tht is what all need to complain about loudly and proudly.

I saw that 64% benefit payout est to resdients of MD and VA.  What do they estimate is paid in /out by VA/DC/MD?  Numbers of people?  Wash Post had lots of verbage but ran short on details.[/quote]

It's a payroll tax. It's paid by the employer. [/quote]
