Why is medicare and social security a flat tax?

medicare
numberforty1 asked:


By which I mean - they take a certain percentage out of your check and there’s no negotiating it at the end of the year as with state and fed tax. Whats the ideology behind making the rich and the poor all pay this same percent tax? (Its 6.2% for SS and 1.4% for Medicare)
