I don't know too much about taxes but that money is more or less going to the same place, which redistributes it right? I mean, if you eliminated a certain tax Congress would scramble to redefine how much of your income is taxable and increase the income tax; they'd screw with Roth 401(k) restrictions and up the tax on contributions to your traditional 401(k). They'd justify it by saying "aw we lost all that cash and we gotta make it up, to fund your healthcare/defend our territory/save GM" and I don't see what difference wiping out one tax would make. They're all different sewage pipes leading to the same dump.To me, this is unjustifiable.
