Question

What would most likely happen if the government increased payroll taxes?

Retirees would discover they have fewer benefits than they’d anticipated.
Citizens would have to wait far longer to collect their benefits.
Workers would have less money to take home each week.
Government officials would please everyone involved.

Answer 1

Workers would have less money to take home each week — payroll taxes are withheld from wages, so raising them reduces workers' net pay.
