It means that I’d be wishing I didn’t have to return someone else’s paychecks.
Compared to half of the country being out of work, it doesn’t mean anything.
O is trying to blackmail the country with twenty bucks a week, to accept policies that are killing us.
Can’t even buy a muffler for $40! Damn sure can’t fill up my truck with it. It would take at least 3 of those $40. It’s all gimmicks, put the $40 back in Social Security. By dollars paid, the U.S. Social Security program is the largest government program in the world and the single greatest expenditure in the federal budget. At present the limit is $106,800 (it rises to $110,100 in 2012). But if the cap is lifted and it includes all taxable income, it will be able to tackle the problem of increasing benefits, from an increase of revenues. A benefit of lifting the cap on the taxable income, but not increasing the benefits make some suggest that the revenue from high income earners will lead to solvency of social security.
It is only $20 a week. $1,000 per year.
20 bucks a week actually does make a difference. My weekly budget includes only 120 bucks of pocket money. What comes out of that pocket money is weekly groceries for myself, non-grocery store meals, and entertainment, and a little bit of miscellaneous spending. Chop that by 20 bucks and my standard of living takes a noticeable hit.
Excellent!!
I’m on disability. It means the world to me.
It was what I was earning in 1957?
It was what I was earning in 1957? A WEEK!
The 0bama / Senate Democrat “tax cut” is only worth $160 total since it is only for two months. The House Republican tax cut would have been worth $1040 since it would have been for a full year. So, Harry (Reid) and Little Dickie (Durbin) raised our taxes by $880.
Good point
$20-$40 a week for teacher union dues. This figure was probably worked out to give teachers the money to pay their dues in states that no longer collect and pass through to the unions for direct contributions to Obama.
That's what I've been doing with it. And with my 401(k), I will actually be able to collect something when I retire.
If this is true, then $40 a week means that I will end up paying $160 more in taxes each month. I make $635 every two weeks in take home. Me and my co workers will be very angry. You who gave me this tax will become an object of wrath. Even I might vote against the GOP over this.
That means the GOP.
I will be hurt, hurt terribly, by this $40 per week tax. Only a fool will raise taxes on my income group. The GOP is marching into a trap yet again.
Well, it’s my monthly utilities plus food and gas. My takehome is about half yours.
Wait a minute! “Every week?” He just changed it from $40 out of every paycheck to $40 every week! But the temporary tax cut is worth only $19 every week to his hypothetical $50,000 per year family.You’d have to earn $104,000 a year for Obama’s Social Security tax markdown to be worth $40 every week.
Does O. mean "$40/week for the rest of my life, or for the rest of my working life, or for the next five years, or for the next two months, or for the next two minutes? Because the absolute amount of money involved sure as heck is significant to me.
