This pull request completes the revisions that began with #1164 and continued in #1167. The hard-coded
Policy.__wgrates
have been changed so that they agree with the rate of growth in per-capita wages-and-salaries implied by the projection factors in theStageIfactors.csv
file. The only use of these rates is to adjust the social security maximum taxable earnings policy parameter,_SS_Earnings_c
. So, the results changes caused by this reduction inPolicy.__wgrates
values are limited to social security results. For example, in 2022 total payroll taxes are reduced by $8.8 billion, which is a decline of about two-thirds of one percent. Notice there are changes only in 2018 and subsequent years because actual (not projected) values for_SS_Earnings_c
are used in years through 2017.@MattHJensen @andersonfrailey @codykallen @Amy-Xu
