Oh wait, are you talking about FICA taxes? Yeah, I forgot about that 7.6% and will see how it fits into my math above. Sure, if the employer was not required to withhold those then they would be returned to your salary. But ultimately they would still need to be paid. A self-employed person has no income tax withheld by an employer but it still needs to be paid. If the FICA tax was in my wages I would still be required to pay it later.
I thought you were referring to the employers portion of the FICA tax. If the employer was not required to pay that tax I'm sure it would not find its way into my paycheck.
