That's usually the one law they can name that killed all those jobs before Obama was ever elected president. It was so bad.

It sounded like he was saying, "if you make over (the number is $118,500) you don't pay Social Security tax."

Which is not true. You pay Social Security tax on the first $118,500 of your income. So, high income people ARE paying Social Security tax - just not as much as they should be.
