For most of us, breathing is so natural we don't even think about it. With Trump, it's the same thing. It's so natural to him, he probably doesn't even think about it. The question is whether he intentionally lies about an issue or is so ignorant about what he is talking about, that he just spews out whatever pops in his head.

I think it is probably both. Either way, he is aggressively unqualified for the job he has!

So you’re crying because seniors get a huge tax deduction for Social Security?

You’d rather they pay more?

The only people not getting the tax reduction are ones they make too much money, isn’t that what you lefties like?
 
America never could trust the information from the social security administration. The government hid the fact that it started stealing the FICA tax as soon as it was created until LBJ made it legal. Democrats only worry about it during republican administrations.

No oxygen for your brain with your head stuck so far up your Ass-tro.

What about those drawing Social Security that are under 65 years of age. Do they get a tax break?

No, and the deduction is miniscule if at all.

The point is that a Federal Agency is being used to promote a partisan political message.

This, like so many other Trump regieme things, smacks of police states and dicatatorships.

And you're here cheering and trying to deflect from the core point.

This would have been unthinkable in the US (and most of the other democratic world) before the Trump regime.

It is inexcusable now.
 
4K tax break for me...I'll take it!

I wonder if it's 8K since the wife is on SS too?
If she is over 65 the answer is yes. If not, the answer is no. You get a $6,000 deduction from income. Show me how reducing your income by six grand results in a savings of four grand.

First, let's assume you are paying taxes on your Social Security benefits, that means your combined income exceeds $32,000 per year. Combined income is your adjusted gross income, tax-exempt interest income, and half of your Social Security income. You got a $30,000 standard deduction to reduce your gross income. I mean you got to be in the 12% tax bracket, that would be up to a joint income of right at $97,000. To save four grand you would have to reduce your combined income by over thirty thousand dollars. How does a six thousand dollar deduction, from your adjusted gross income, not your combined income--you still ,have to count half your Social Security, add up to a four thousand dollar tax break?

Obviously, you have income other than Social Security, I just don't think you are going to see that four thousand dollar savings. Take your last years tax return, take an additional six grand, or twelve grand, off your adjusted gross income, add half of your and your wife's Social Security benefits, and if the total falls under $32,000, you don't pay taxes on Social Security income. Is that the case, and do you draw thirty thousand in Social Security income but less than $47,000 in additional income?

Like I said, I don't think the numbers are going to pan out for you. The real question is, will that even matter to you or will you be bending over and saying, "Thank you sir, I will have another".

I don't think you get it. There is absolutely nothing in this bill that eliminates taxes on Social Security. It is simply an additional deduction for those over 65, kind of like that blind deduction that has been there forever. And that deduction does not apply to those under 65, which, incidentally, is more than half the people currently collecting Social Security. Furthermore, that deduction is completely temporary, will end when Trump leaves off. I mean how damn lame, once again, Republicans sunsetting a tax cut. Pussies.

But the problem here is that you have a government entity purposely broadcasting nothing more than propaganda. I don't care what side of the aisle you are on, that is wrong.

From the link:
"In other words, yes, many seniors will get a new tax break, but (a) it’s temporary, unlike the tax giveaways to the wealthy; (b) it doesn’t apply to everyone; and (c) to characterize this as eliminating taxes on Social Security benefits is ridiculous."

1. There is no tax giveaway to the wealthy, its the exact same top tax rate since 2017.
2. It applies to those seniors making less than $150,000 a year, which covers 90% of us
3. It is a $6,000 to $12,000 tax cut which easily overs the tax on SS

What “partisan message” is the SS putting out?


You also had no problem with the previous Regime putting partisan messages out about DEI and BLM propaganda.
