Dummies complain about waitresses no longer being taxed on tips while they encourage the waitreses' Medicaid enrolled boyfriends watch TV

[Twisted Gypsy Child]

Many waitresses already need food stamps and welfare. A small temporary break is something, but not much when you consider it ends in 3 years, and the millions given to each billionaire is permanent.

Do not let Ghost of a Rider see this one.. and his buddies like Frankeneinstein will start chanting Cuba

Margaret Thatcher was awful.
Her attack on Argentina was awful.

England did not attack Argentina. Argentina invaded British islands

Democrats are Marxists attacking the truth.

 

[healthmyths]

Wrong.
Unemployed 29 year olds may be on Medicaid due to low income, but they also are not going to be costing anything, since that age group has very little medical needs.

The reality is that most Medicaid is for elderly who do not get enough from Social Security or Medicare in order to cover their assisted living expenses.

All guesses and not one FACT!!!

 

[BULLDOG]

~~~~~~
Indeed, the rich millionaire/billionaire oligarch Commie Democrats and their thieving hearts.

Here's an idea. Lets quit throwing money at the super rich regardless of which party they might follow. I could join you on that.

 

[elektra]

All guesses and not one FACT!!!

Technically all lies based on what the dummy is told in democrat-Marxist sound bites and headlines

 

[struth]

The waitresses tax break on tips won't amount to much more than pocket change over a year, and the reduction ends in 3 years. Billionaires got a much as hundreds of millions in tax breaks, and theirs is permanent.

It’s weird you don’t think 1600 dollars in savings isn’t a lot to someone making 19k

Very weird

 

[Ghost of a Rider]

exactly! do not let Ghost of a Rider see your comments on Billionaires and tax breaks.

Bullshit. My question to you was about tax breaks and Bezos' wedding, not tax breaks and billionaires.

Remember Trump said no taxes on tips. But you got to make concessions to give the wealthy the tax breaks they demand. One way to look at is as follows. Bezos had a 50M wedding. Take the bottom 250 earners total LIFE savings on this board and you will not even be close to 50M.

What's your point?

 

[Crepitus]

Don't be 'concerned right now for the taxation short fall. That's comes later for some other politician to take the heat.

For now the fascist regime can benefit from millions of workers expressing their thanks at the ballot box!

That's why none of this happens until after the midterms.

 

[Ghost of a Rider]

Do not let Ghost of a Rider see this one.. and his buddies like Frankeneinstein will start chanting Cuba

What the hell are you talking about? I never said a word about taxing or not taxing tips. Again, my question was about your remarks about tax breaks and Bezos' wedding.

 

[Frankeneinstein]

Do not let @Ghost of a Rider see this one.. and his buddies like @Frankeneinstein will start chanting Cuba

TRANSLATION: "Got anything to counter the Cuba thing with"?

Of course it is. Any amount is welcome for a low wage employee. That's not the point. we give table scraps to the poor, but millions to the rich. are you really too stupid to understand that?

Yeah, cherry kinda dropped that one real quick.

How is that table scraps? That’s a large part of their income?

All people, no matter their income are getting the same rate on tip income

tips are only used for the lower income. It's nothing the rich care about.

Poor waitresses, i.e. people who get tips are considered by the dummies as bad as billionaires who don't pay taxes, now under the new bill.
BUT these dummies are all upset that the following adults who ARE ABLE-BODIED don't want to work but watch TV be required to work to get Medicaid!
How truly dumb are these people?
"Able-bodied adults on Medicaid: Approximately 7 to 10 million able-bodied, non-working adults without dependents are estimated to be enrolled in Medicaid. Data from December 2022 showed about 13.9 million able-bodied adults without dependents (ABAWDs) on Medicaid.
Time spent watching TV/gaming: Some reports indicate that non-working, able-bodied Medicaid recipients spend a significant amount of time on these activities, such as an average of 4.2 hours per day. Another report claimed 125 hours per month.
Gender: In 2023, around 46% of Medicaid recipients were male.
Important Considerations:
Work Requirements: Discussions about Medicaid often involve work requirements for able-bodied adults.
Data Limitations: The available data, while informative, does not provide a precise figure for the specific group (able-bodied, TV game-watching males on Medicaid). Further detailed analysis would be required to get a more accurate count.
These statistics are part of a broader discussion about Medicaid and its recipients, and they do not capture the full complexities of the individuals enrolled in the program.

Press Release
Congressman Robert Aderholt (AL-04) today issued the following statement in strong support of Speaker Mike Johnson’s comments regarding waste and abuse in the Medicaid system, following a new report exposing how non-working Medicaid recipients are spending their time.

“Speaker Johnson hit the nail on the head when he said Medicaid shouldn’t be going to ‘29-year-old males sitting on their couches playing video games.’
The American Enterprise Institute’s new analysis confirms it: many able-bodied Medicaid recipients who aren’t working are spending their time — not looking for jobs — but glued to screens.”

According to the AEI study, non-working Medicaid recipients without children spend an average of 4.2 hours every day watching TV and playing video games.
That adds up to 125 hours per month — time that could be used for working, volunteering, or gaining job skill

A cap of $25,000. Tips are then taxed after $25,000. Who the hell can live on that?

And all of this ends in 2028.

You've been lied to, MAGA simp. Nothing new for you.

Here are some of the actual facts that I was able to find on it....

Who's Affected by Medicaid Work Requirements? It's Not Who You Think | Milbank Memorial Fund

Since the Affordable Care Act (ACA) Medicaid expansion passed in 2010, Medicaid work requirement proponents have sought to convince policymakers that the

www.milbank.org

Here is what our analysis revealed:

• Medicaid enrollees classified as able-bodied represent only 15.8% of the total nonworking Medicaid population ages 18-64 (and only 8% of the total Medicaid population). In other words, nonworking able-bodied enrollees are a very small part of all nonworking enrollees; the great majority of nonworking enrollees have serious health problems, care for minor children, or have a condition severe enough to qualify for disability benefits.
• Within this small slice of nonworking adults who can be considered able-bodied, four in five (79.2%) are women, with an average age of 41. One in four (26%) is over age 50. Their median income is zero. They live in families with annual incomes averaging under $45,000 and an average household size of 4.4. In other words, they are exceptionally poor women on the older end of the working-age spectrum, who have no income of their own and live in poor families.
• This group includes many former workers. Over half (56.2%) worked within the past five years, but eight in ten (81.9%) are no longer in the labor force.
• Most have less than a high school education and have left the workforce to take care of family members, such as elderly parents or adult children or spouses with disabilities or a combination of the three.

In sum, “able-bodied” adults are a small portion of working-age Medicaid enrolled adults ages 18 to 64. They are not healthy young adults just hanging out. Although they may not have current health problems, many are middle-aged women or older, and a quarter are older than 50. They are very poor, have limited education, the majority once worked, most have left the workforce, and now they care for family and cannot afford to lose their own health care.

Off-Base Medicaid Work Mandates​

The most recent iteration of a federal work mandate, the 2023 House-passed Limit Save Grow Act, aims to penalize states that are unable to get people like these women to work. The bill would claw back hundreds of billions of dollars over time from states unable to prove that their working-age population is either exempt or working. The proposal rests on an assumption that there are tens of millions of healthy working-age adults enrolled in Medicaid who could work and do not.

Our robust analysis of the gold standard ACS data tells a dramatically different story.

First, working-age adults who could be classified as “able bodied” because they report no health problems, no advanced disability, and no dependents at home, represent only one in seven working-age Medicaid adults.

Second, they are not young people who choose not to work. They are older women (26% over age 50) who once worked but left the workforce to stay home and care for family.

Third, they are very poor, with limited education. They are reaching the end of a job life. Given the demands and hardships they face, they have limited time, ability, or opportunity to transform themselves into dynamic workers earning decent wages with job-based health insurance. Finally, because they are older, they are entering a period of life when it is absolutely essential, given who they are and how much their families depend on them, that they not experience needless disruption in their health insurance in furtherance of a punitive, mandatory work policy bearing no relationship to reality. Moreover, from a purely federal budgetary perspective, it is vital to keep this group of people stably insured. Many will enter Medicare in the not-too-distant future, and the evidence shows that Medicare—and therefore American taxpayers—will bear the financial consequences of depriving this group of health care access now. We simply cannot afford a Medicaid work mandate that will do nothing to increase employment and only serves to disinsure vulnerable, impoverished older working-age women on whom their families depend.

 

[Twisted Gypsy Child]

Yeah, cherry kinda dropped that one real quick.

Cherry is goinf to drop you

Bullshit. My question to you was about tax breaks and Bezos' wedding, not tax breaks and billionaires.

What's your point?

Tax Break for the wealthy. Example Bezos. This is the SECOND time I explained this.

 

[struth]

tips are only used for the lower income. It's nothing the rich care about.

So the lower income are getting the break here and the rich aren’t? Contradicting yourself already

Her attack on Argentina was awful.

I never really figured that one out or why the Brits are in north Ireland.

 

[Soupnazi630]

Margaret Thatcher was awful.
Her attack on Argentina was awful.

Socialism obviously is vastly superior to capitalism, because by people pooling funds to come up the investment needed for the means of production themselves, you eliminate the vast doubling in costs created by the profits demanded by the monopolies and stock holders.

Just compare any socialist program like the Post Office, public schools, public health care in the rest of the world, etc.
It obviously is vastly cheaper and better.
That is because you get to control or at least influence public endeavors, while you get no say at all in private monopolies.

WRONG

She did not attack Argentina you dumb ************. Aerfentiona styarted that war.

Socialism is immoral inferior and always fails. It pools NOTHING it steals and enslaves. They steal the means of production and then destroy it they do not buy it.

government services are NOT socialism you dumbass

Private schools are still better. Any private mail service works BETTER.

Private enterprises have no monopolies. Socialism creates monopolies
