My original point wasn't to say "you shouldn't complain" but I see how it came off that way. When I first saw your post about having to pay both parts of the FICA tax, I felt like you weren't painting the whole picture. Someone can go online and say "Chris Brown is a good dancer", and he is, but that's not all he is. The whole picture is "Chris Brown is a good dancer who beat the crap out of his girlfriend before a public appearance and acted like a child during following appearances." When you said you were a sole proprietor that pays both parts of FICA, I wanted to clear it up a bit more and state that yes you may pay both parts, but you also get to deduct half and enjoy other tax advantages of a sole proprietorship. There are people on here who don't have knowledge of this stuff and I wouldn't want them thinking a sole proprietorship means "you pay double". The ability to write off half was created to avoid double taxation.
Now I myself wouldn't complain about paying both parts because I agree with the point behind it. If you want to complain that you pay both parts, you can. I didn't mean to come off that way.
