How about no tax on anyone? It's the younger generations that are struggling to get their lives going, getting married, having kids, buying a house, because inflation and taxes are out of control!
The whole concept of taxes based on what an individual can pay is illogical. Fees paid to the government should be proportional to services and resources used.
Sales tax is the best approach. No one can escape it or cheat it. Everyone pays the same tax %. Its an incentive to keep the city clean for tourism.
Taxing based in income is BS because a lot of people get paid differently. Its a base tax rate no matter what you get the same $ deducted. You cant cost it to anything. Its bascislly pissing money into the wind because that's how much some asshole calculated would be the "appropriate" amount to pay. It also decentivises wanting to get paid more. That's a real problem.
How does he define middle class and why does anyone have to pay tax on the Social Security tax?
It shouldn’t matter whether you are middle class or not. What prevents them from redefining ’middle class’ in the future? They forcibly took our money and our employers money for over 50 years with the promise of Social Security and Medicare. Now they tax our Social Security, charge Medicare premiums and implemented Medicare IRMAA penalties for working hard and saving for retirement. If they would stop their reckless spending of our tax money thru BS projects, NGOs, foreign aid and government overreach , there would be sufficient funds to cover the benefits we were promised.
THAT'S why we are charged almost $900 a month for Medicare, for which we have paid from its inception. We went with a private option. Medicare is a lousy insurance ce.
We aren't. If we signed up for Medicare. It would be 880 a month. We have a private carrier for under 400. We have the Medicare hospitalization which pays for two days. It's automatic
We have no other Medicare. Too expensive
What you a saying makes no sense unless your income is so astronomical that you a paying an IRMAA or you did not sign up at age 65 and are paying a penalty.
I was still working at 65 and had the best insurance available. When our deductible began to skyrocket, I tried again. Same price and we would of course have to buy a supplemental plan also. There are two of us.
That didn’t happen, they wanted to give seniors $4000.00 every year for only 4 years, in other words 4 grand with a sunset clause so that they could use it to try to get re-elected. That’s what is in the bill. Massie has created a new bill to eliminate tax on SocialSecurity for seniors and make it permanent. That’s what Trump wanted.

"proportional to services and resources used" But without bloat, waste, fraud, and lining pockets of criminal politicians and businesspeople.
Certainly. Embezzlement isn’t a service
Agreed. After finding out where our tax dollars were spent. I would love no taxes. Pipe dream I guess.
If it’s up to Trump, the pipe Dream might become a smoking reality
Tax is theft!
I agree even as a Senior at 74 but let's at least get it started!
"How about no tax on anyone?"
Gotta start somewhere, kiddo.

Mine is 240 month comes out of SS
Medicare Part B premiums for 2025 are $185 a month. WTF are you paying?

Even if you have terminal cancer they still make you pay SS tax. It's a big fuckin scam.
They should let you cash out your SS if you get terminal cancer.
Great, next should be "no tax" act
And Trump wants him 'out'. So he said.
Even a blind squirrel finds a nut once in a while.
A start. The income tax is deep state oppression. It has to go period. There is no MAGA as long as there are income and property taxes.
Need some laws in there to prevent land hoarding if they get rid of property tax
It is crazy that we had taxes taken out of our paychecks for SS and now have to pay taxes on the meager money we get each month.
This is only to try to rehab Massie with us.
It's not going anywhere.
When it counted, Massie knifed us with his vote and advocacy last week.
I thought the big beautiful bill eliminated tax on social security.
That didn’t happen, they wanted to give seniors $4000.00 every year for only 4 years, in other words 4 grand with a sunset clause so that they could use it to try to get re-elected.

4k additional credit now.
Hmm, who benefits the most from such a bill?
Surely not a group of oligarchs that rule use, surely not!
Trump is a boomer...Fuck Him?
You sound like a redditard.
