since everyone pays the maximum fica around here

Well that means everyone makes $76,200 or more, which means you all are "rich", according to the president and congressional democrats. What are you complaining about?

<<The average person who works for me makes 85K, so they and my company pay out the maximum in SS taxes - its about 9K.

Then, every 4 years if they are lucky you've got stock options to sell for say, 200K - 400K.>>

Well lets average it out the average couple working for you makes $370 per annum. The geezer couple has about $20,000 per annum coming in. The geezer couple has a $300k house and $20k income, Your dudes have no home equity and a $370 annum income. Which would I prefer? Trade you now.
