The three polys. The classic symptoms of high blood glucose are polyuria, polydipsia, and polyphagia. In plain English, that means excessive urination, excessive thirst, and excessive hunger. Any doctor who hears this trio of complaints will reach for a blood glucose meter.
The Social Security component of the FICA tax is regressive, meaning the effective tax rate regresses (decreases) as income increases beyond the compensation limit. The Social Security component is a flat tax for wage levels under the Social Security Wage Base (see Regular employees above).
Until now, the Social Security wage base has increased in each of the last four years. Social security taxes, (or OASDI taxes) are the taxes that are taken from your paycheck to contribute to the social security program. However, there is a wage base limit, and earnings above this amount are not taxed. The social security tax wage bases are per person, and are not impacted by a husband and wife who meet the wage base when adding their incomes together. Any earnings over the tax wage base are not subject to social security taxes.
