While stiffing the unemployed, and the middle class and poor and seniors with an insulting $1200 one time direct check. Nancy passed $2,000 a month direct stimulus checks, and trump and the GOP refuse to do that. Trickle down is just another way to transfer wealth, not for a recovery. How many trillions has trump gotten printed up to protect the wealthy in the stock markets? Who'll pay for that, we will be stuck with that.

There is FICA which is Social Security. and Medicare withholding which pays for Medicare and the Federal Payroll tax which is the part going to the IRS.
