I noticed you conveniently left out the part where I stated the money (15.3%) taken from our income over +45 years is compounded at 5%....


It doesn't read that way. Are you and your wife self employed?

Doesn't matter because you made the number up any way to try and prove a point.

The 5% compounded annually is in the post.

Proving a point is using simple mathematics on the compounded earnings of the Social Security and Medicare taxes that were paid by a couple who worked +45 years.

It's not uncommon for a married couple who remain employed over a 45 year period to earn over $3-4 million collectively.

15.3 % of 4 million is 612k, now take that and start compounding the SS and medicare taxes over 45 years and see what you get.
