Pretty sure when I fill out a Schedule SE it says "Self Employment Tax " : an amount of money that a government requires people to pay according to their income, the value of their property, etc., and that is used to pay for the things done by the government Maybe it is a contribution?

"Most people work for someone else, and their Social Security taxes are automatically taken out of their paycheck and sent to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). When this is the case, the tax gets split between the employee and employer, with each party paying half of what’s owed."

White call it what you want but if it is "mandated" it is a tax in sheeps wool. SS match isn't a "tax" but it is looked at as such because it's mandated. Some businesses won't survive this Mandated NON-TAX It's 10 or under to not be "FORCED " to pay 3% of a non-tax for the employer......
How is it a tax if the the individual still has the funds under his control ? I could see it being called a tax if the money went to the government. And no one is FORCED to pay a dime if they opt out. I agree that this would be really expensive for some small businesses to keep track of. Every time they hire a new employee they would need to let him know about the program and also find out whether he wants in or out. Now, what about an employee that quits and goes to work elsewhere ? Does he have to start a new 401k or does the old one go with him ? He and his new plan administrator need to know how much he has already set aside for the year so he doesn't exceed the annual limits. What about the employer match ? I think that could be an expensive mess for a lot of small businesses. A real can of worms

Wife had a business for 28 years. Offered a 401K to employees with a modest match. Only ONE employee took advantage of it, and she was getting old.
Rest " couldn't afford to" yet many had new cars, took multiple vacations, nails done, latest I-phone, tatoos, $5 coffee every morning and bought lunch everyday.
We sacrificed, maybe too much. But Old Dave thanks Young Dave.

These same people will cash out these 401ks first chance they get and blow the money. You can't save people from themselves.

But I didn't read anything that said that the employer had to match the 3%.

Spot on with what I see where I work. We have roughly 300 employees and we only have 43% contributing to a 401K. New hires no longer have a pension so they get dollar for dollar match up to 6%. Those of us that have a pension get 0.50 on the dollar match up to 6%. I started with the company in 1998 a year out of college at a rate of roughly $18.00 an hour. I made the decision to contribute 15% from the beginning and have done that to date and have never missed it. Even though I have a pension (not the greatest), I did not want to rely on it, social security, or anything or anybody else for my retirement. My plan is to take care of it myself and anything else is a bonus. As others have mentioned there has was a lot of sacrifice early on driving used vehicles, eating left overs in my lunch, and on and on. I believe those sacrifices taught me to live modestly and take care of business, which carried on to later in life by paying of a 30 year mortgage in 14 years and living debt free, but still enjoying myself along the way within reason. I make a DIY trip to Alaska every year fishing with friends and I always hear the “ it must be nice” from somebody at work every year. Those same people are the ones that always have to have the latest IPhone, trade vehicles every two years, or one example was a close coworker that went out to lunch for fast food every work day. I told him to bring left overs in his lunch every day for a year and use the money he saved to go on the Alaska trip next year.

I don't see how pumping money into the stock market staves off a recession. That would require a fair amount of delusion in the economy.
Just smacks of politics and I hate when politicians point to the stock market especially after obvious pumping Half the population maybe more doesn't realise that higher corporate taxes are a direct tax on their retirement plans . 1/3 of the money in the stock market is from retirement plans . That's alot of delusion . Pumping money into the stock market maintains the illusion/ delusion . Most people that have a stable job don't eaven realise there is a recession going on until the stock market crashes and they look at their IRA . Then they feel it and it becomes their reality

2008 to now market doubled.
What else has doubled???? Have homes doubled, land doubled and many other costs doubled....has the national debt tripled? Quadruple the amount of money being printed out of thin air backing.....how many more trillion will they print to pay off student loans when they decide in August they need those votes and cancel that debt???
^ these may not be 'exact facts' but you get my drift.
Stock market is a scam imo...ymmv. The market is up almost 5-6 fold since the bottom. Not doubled.
Think beyond right or left don't be guilty of group think.

I don't have a 401k type plan, am I stupid lol
The government has no business telling anyone how they should plan for retirement, it doesn't have any business bailing out those who didnt.
