BONUS!

For most working people, the expiration of the tax break is made up by the cut in the Social Security withholding tax. Because retirees don't pay Social Security, they've lost money because of the expiration.

Ain’t it just grand that there are thousands of little things like that? So easy to keep track of.

Retirees, eh? Something tells me that as a voting block they didn’t come through for the RATs last November so Nancy engaged in a little payback politics. Forgot? I don’t think so.

this is yet another Dem fiasco.0dumbo thought it was a good idea to reduce the amount of withholding.
BUT all anyone has to do now is change the number of dependents and less will be withheld. No one verifies the number of dependents you put on a W4. NOT to be confused with the actual number you can claim whem you file your taxes.
The tax rate they pay, which has nothing to do with whether they are retired or not but is based on their income did not change under 0dumbo.
All that changed is how much was deducted every pay period. Most idiots don’t realize you should have the least amount deducted you can and pay if you have to April 15
Why give the gov’t money to use all year ?

Wow, what an intelligent person you are. Using your logic, anyone looking at you could assume that all Freepers are idiotic racists & bigots—because after all, you only need to see one to judge an entire group.

It’s racist to have endured the bullshit of affirmative action?

It’s racist to make the statement he made, which no doubt applies to a good number of Freepers, a good number of black political commentators (Sowell, Keyes), and a whole bunch of black professionals who worked their butts off to prove to assholes like Mr. Piper that worth is determined by the content of our character, not by the color of our skin. So, yes, it was an ignorant racist comment that does not belong on this forum and if you don’t agree with me, well then you sir are worse than Hitler.

In some idiot minds, its ok to discrimnate againt me due to the actions of my great, great, great, great, great grandfather.

Of course, if you go back in history far enough,, everyone's ancestors have been slaves,, but only the last 200 yrs matter to liberals.
