Social security - you get what you pay in. Well in theory. You're entitled to it because you paid it as a separate and specific thing.
Just because you've paid taxes doesn't mean you've paid towards snap. I've paid taxes and never used snap.

How the fuck is this okay?
How are your going to punish success and say, with a straight face, that you're trying to improve the country?
How are you going to say the country is fair and equal and then demand money from people who make over a certain amount of money but none from others who make less than that amount?
How is this not a gross violation of the equal protection clause? This is a blatant violation of treating everyone the same, saying the tax law applies to one group of people but not another.
So fuck it, what should my wife and I do, negate the efforts we've made in our careers to both top 150k in order to take lesser positions we held 15 years ago in order to dip under 150k a year so that the government doesn't take money from us?
And Trump promoted this guy?
How can you drain the swamp when you're giving them promotions?
