yes

ABSOLUTELY NOT!! (Not sure who wrote 'yes.)

The IRS regulations state that the employee tax rate for social security tax in 2011 is 4.2%. The employer tax rate for social security remains unchanged at 6.2%. The 2011 social security wage base limit is $106,800. In 2011, the Medicare tax rate is 1.45% each for employers and employees, unchanged from 2010. There is no wage base limit for Medicare tax. Employers should implement the 4.2% employee social security tax rate as soon as possible, but not later than January 31, 2011.
