Do I get to pay 24% less social security tax?
Hehe. You know the answer to that.
You need to be rich enough to qualify for the tax cuts I guess
if you did would it allow you to cover expenses in retirement?
Retirement... HAH!
(That'll never happen for me)
Thats what I mean. Losing a quarter of what is inadequate to pay bills is going to be worse than the taxes on you job barely paying bills now being slightly lower.
I'm not disagreeing. I was adding my anecdotal example as agreement, with a side order of snark
The rich aren’t getting richer by not being handed over your money in the biggest transfer of wealth ever.
America got F-U-C-K-E-D over good by Trump. I’d expect nothing less from a vile human being that rapes 12 year olds, but that’s just me.
He said 12 is too young for him. Much more correct to say 13 year olds.
By the time I retire, social security will be negative. Turn 79.5, you pay them $500/mo.
Vote for republicans and suffer the consequences.
I genuinely would like to know what portion of social security recipients voted for this or did not vote.
I guarantee a majority of them voted for this. Especially the retired portion
My parents did, are currently receiving SS checks, and are still in denial about *everything*
My father, who never saved a dime in his life and will be fully dependent on social security in retirement, voted for it and thinks this is the best thing to ever happen to America. Gonna be a wake up call when he can't ever afford to retire.
Gonna be a wake up call
Sadly I don't think that will be the case.
And don't worry, it's going to be your fault that this is happening to him.
4 years after he’s safely out of office, at which point they’ll blame the Democrats.
Why do the rich want more money? What does it get them at this point?
