Don’t complain if you don’t receive your Social Security Check

[postman]

sure, a landlord could, but the person is living in the apt the entire time after the notice....months...and can end as soon as rent it paid.

Not months, weeks. They can file the case after only 5 days, Depending on the docket

In Gwinnett County, Georgia, a landlord can initiate eviction for non-payment of rent after a 3-day notice to pay or vacate, and the entire eviction process, including court proceedings and potential removal, can take roughly 1-2 weeks.

Oh you used VA…even in GA you are wrong. First the renter has to get notice, then has seven days to reply, then a court hearing has to be scheduled. Then a hearing, and if the landlord wins the renter still has seven days to reply

So your timeline is way off

it is none of our fricken business.

The US signed a security agreement back in 1994 in order to make it our business. What I don't understand why so many americans have a problem pushing back at Russia, one of America's biggest enemies.

Its Russian disinformation. Highly effective in MAGA circles.

“a fraudster always makes the loudest noise, screaming, yelling and complaining. … Anybody who’s been in the payment system and the process system knows the easiest way to find the fraudster is to stop payments and listen. Yeah. ’Cause whoever screams is the one stealing.”

He’s not wrong.

Many of the Progressive boomers loved the Soviet Union. Loved Joseph Stalin, Nikita Khruschev and Leonid Brezhnev. This is truth. Many Communist sympathizers in that era and still today. And many have made intertwining inroads to power now. You hate Putin as a leader of Russia today. You loved him and worshipped him as a "kgb" agent with the Soviet Union. They let you down when the glorious Soviet Union fell.

Can’t make this stuff up

Trumps Commerce Secretary says only fraudsters would complain if their Social Security check doesn’t come.
Most would just say….Doesn’t matter, they will send two next month

Shows how clueless they are.

Fuck that, I will call my Congressman (Jared Huffman) and bitch to him about it. I've walked Marin City for him at least 5-Times. He owes me.

Why do you on the left want war with Russia? explain that. Wouldn't it be better for everyone if we had a mutually beneficial trading relationship with Russia? Russia cannot even defeat Ukraine, they would be no match for us. China is the real enemy, but you libs want to kiss their ass, you are insane.

Why does the right pander to Putin and refuse to condemn his aggression?

Obama offered Putin a mutually beneficial trading relationship and he turned it down

I assure you if social security checks stop there will be a public outcry so loud it will bring the ( White ) house down.

 

[boilermaker55]

Another of your crowd..... for you bitch today...
President Ronald Reagan signed the 1983 Social Security Amendments into law, which included provisions for the taxation of Social Security benefits, making up to 50% of benefits potentially taxable income.

I wouldn't complain, i'd figure they would just make it up later.

I get royally schlonged on the taxes levied against it nowadays anyhow. Hopefully, the D's don't block President Trump's proposal to get rid of that greedy tax

Why does Russia want war with the US by attacking a key ally?

{...

Up to 85% of a taxpayer's benefits may be taxable if they are:​

• Filing single, head of household or qualifying widow or widower with more than $34,000 income.
• Married filing jointly with more than $44,000 income.
• Married filing separately and lived apart from their spouse for all of 2021 with more than $34,000 income.
• Married filing separately and lived with their spouse at any time during 2021.

...}

So really the taxes on Social Security do not effect many people at all, and it does not make much difference.

 

[Rigby5]

So you know what happens if you eliminate the tax right?

It accelerates how much money is coming out of the Trust Fund to meet current benefits. Why? Because income taxes on SS Benefits go back to the Social Security Administration to help fund current benefits.

That will result in a 25% cut in benefits as SS will only be able to pay benefits equal to revenues.

So we have a couple, let's say around average getting $2000 each, that's $48,000 per year. At 85%, that's $40,800 taxable. Minus the standard deduction for a couple is $30,000. 22% tax rate on the remaining $10,800 is a tax of $2,376.

Now once the Trust is exhausted those $48,000 in SS Benefits (remember married couple with both eligible) now get SS Benefits of $36,000 (25% cut) or a loss of $12,000 per year.

Yep, to save $2,376 in taxes now, they will get a hair cut of $12,000 a few years earlier.

You wrote, "22% tax rate on the remaining $10,800 is a tax of $2,376."
But the rate on an income of only $10,800 is just 10%.
{...
the 10% tax rate applies to single filers with taxable income up to $11,925 and to married couples filing jointly with taxable income up to $23,850.
...}
So their tax would then only be $1,080.

 

[Rigby5]

Trump and Musk are looking for lib scam artists who are defrauding SS and Medicare, along with Medicaid

The left is worried about losing their criminal gravytrain

Obviously the biggest fraud is from munitions and military spending.
But Trump and Musk have ignored that.

Of course there is fraud and mismanagement in the defense budget

Its turn for reform will come

Obviously it's tough to narrow down the stupid comments and actions that have sprayed out of this regime in such a short time, but this one has to be near the top.

That gets a little into the weeds and you are correct in that under the progressive tax system the tax rate would be lower.

I failed to probably clarify (to keep it simpler) as to whether Social Security was their only taxable income.

If the assumption is that Social Security is the only source of income, the actual taxes are one thing. However for the vast majority of retirees Social Security might be a major portion of their income, but probably not all. So in the real world it is logical to deal with the effective tax rate (Federal and State Combined) based on total income and the resulting effective rate. That's where the middle of the road 22% figure came from. It was under the assumption that SS was not the only income.

Because Income Taxes are not paid based on any order of priority of which money counts first, which money counts second, etc. Effective taxes rates can be calcualted simply based on Total Adjusted Gross Income and the taxes paid.

For my wife and I (married filing jointly) in retirement we have the potential for 6 additional importand revenue streams excluding SS (8 if you include SS) and some minor stuff such as interest from various Credit Union accounts/certificates. Other sources of income may include (general speaking):

• Continuing to work Full Time
• Continuing to work Part Time
• Owning a business
• Rental properties
• Miltary Retirements
• Employer Pensions
• IRA/401k/403B/457/TSP distributions
• Investment dividends
• Interest from non-tax deferred savings, certificates, and bonds
• Etc.
  

But thank you for pointing out what you said, it is an important distinction with the severity of the impact being graduated by total income and effective rates.
