21. Does the payroll tax holiday not extend to self-employment taxes?

Actually, Limbaugh's an idiot out the box anyway. I own *two* small businesses and pay no self-employment tax. I did some consulting work once and paid self-employment then. But have never had to pay it because of the businesses I own.

That aside, if it so happens your work requires you to pay self-employment taxes, is there no partial payroll tax holiday on that tax? The one year I had to pay it, I noted that self-employment taxes were equal to the employer and employee share of the payroll tax combined. Did they forget that when crafting the payroll tax holiday?
