stop lying. Payroll taxes are not included as Federal Income taxes. Your rants about Limbaugh are just plain pavlovian nonsense.
A tax is a tax is a tax is a tax.
Pretending that ones FICA taxes are NOT a tax is the lie. But don't believe me - here is a verifiable source for the evidence
Federal Insurance Contributions Act tax - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medicare_(United_States)[SUP][2][/SUP] —federal programs that provide benefits for retirees, the disabled, and children of deceased workers. Social Security benefits include old-age, survivors, and disability insurance (OASDI); Medicare provides hospital insurance benefits for the elderly. The amount that one pays in payroll taxes throughout one's working career is associated indirectly with the social security benefits annuity that one receives as a retiree.[SUP][citation needed][/SUP] This has caused some to claim that the payroll tax is not a tax because its collection is tied to a benefit.[SUP][3][/SUP]
the far right tries to create a dishonest and fraudulent stage on which to discuss the issue of taxation when they attempt to exclude FICA taxes from the discussion. As we all know, the wealthy pay a very tiny portion of their income in FICA tax while average workers pay proportionately hundreds of times more in percentage of income than many millionaires do.
