Good information JW. Thank you!

People get an instant 'cola' of up to 22% after Trump eliminates federal tax on SS bennies.

No COLA has ever kept pace with inflation!

The wage cap going up is a good thing but it needs to be increased significantly. 

So Democrats can suck away and waste those dollars on foolish projects!

Social Security money doesn't go towards anything but social security payments.

LOL!

Tell us another lie!

1.  COLA - 2.5% (0.9% under CPI)
2.  Wage Cap increase
3.  Bend Points - highest 35 earning years
4.  Earnings Limit increase
5.  Work requirement set to 10 years in order to qualify

Only 7% of earners will ever see the wage cap.  Too bad for the other 93%.

Their benefits will also be capped.

I doubt you can prove your bs claim.  Are you that dense?



One common misperception is that Social Security benefits are entirely tax-free. However, it has been the rule for many years that some portion — in some cases, up to 85% — of your Social Security benefits can be taxable, depending on your income.

This system can have major implications for retirement planning since the tax calculation involves not only income from Social Security but also other common sources of retirement income like pensions, investments, and tax-exempt interest.

So, understanding how your Social Security benefits are taxed is important for navigating your financial future and making informed decisions to enhance your overall security in retirement.  https://www.ssa.gov/retirement

I can prove it.  It's simple math.  But, since you can't figure it out for yourself, you know you can trust me, anyhow.  :)  Actually it could be well over 22% but, you'll never fall into that category, so I made it a conservative figure.

People get an instant 'tax' of up to 20+% after Trump installs his tariffs on EVERYBODY.

Trump's policies would jeopardize Social Security, report finds. 'Beyond irresponsible,' says expert

https://www.yahoo.com/finance/news/trumps-policies-would-jeopardize-social-security-report-finds-beyond-irresponsible-says-one-expert-194828960.html

The Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget says Donald Trump's proposed tariffs, tax cuts, and deportations would run the program dry earlier than expected.

'They're paying into the Social Security program'

The report considered Trump's promises to get rid of taxes on Social Security benefits, tips, and overtime as well as his vow to deport undocumented immigrants and impose a 10% to 20% tariff on imported goods and a 60% tariff on Chinese goods.

By not taxing Social Security benefits — which directly go to Social Security and Medicare Trust Funds — Social Security would lose $950 billion, the analysis found.

Another $900 billion would be lost to the elimination of taxes on overtime and tips, the former of which is subject to FICA taxes and the latter must be reported at tax time.

IMHO, they should raise the dollar amount that is subject to FICA Tax to a very high level.

This would help sustain Soc Sec for many more years.

Many of my Family Members earn wages that result in the FICA Tax ending in the early Fall every year. Then, it becomes a benefit
    of income that they are not used to for much of the year. If they continued to pay that Tax, they wouldn't even miss it.

Why?  They are completely unrelated to SS.

[/HIGHLIGHT][/SIZE][/FONT]


Ummm, no.  SS is funded through payroll taxes.  Not tariffs.  Not income tax.  And deporting illegal aliens wouldn’t affect SS payroll taxes at all because as you know it’s illegal to employ illegal aliens, and they don’t pay into SS..

Ummm, no.  The tax on Social Security Benefits goes to federal INCOME tax, not SS payroll tax.


The author clearly doesn’t understand how SS works.
