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.

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 ?

Thousands of retired state and local government workers

I'm absolutely heartbroken at the thought of a bunch of overpaid shovel leaners having their precious taxpayer funded pensions being cut.

So, who'd have thunk that a government who views your money as inherently belonging to them, would possibly find a way to suprise retirees with a huge tax hike?

I mean, this is entirely unexpected, right?

Right?
