It was a reduction in FICA withholding and it was because Congress passed a law mandating it.
“entitled”
Amendment XVI of the federal Constitution and Title 26 of the United State Code say otherwise.
Without constitutional tax caps, the federal government is entitled to take as much as it pleases and send the rich off to Taliban territory armed with slingshots.

Perhaps you didn’t follow the thread which was more about past precedents leading up to and paving the way to where we are today. All three branches have bent the rules.
Bank on the fact that Trump's promise to reduce or eliminate the FICA tax if reelected will become a major campaign theme for the Democrats. Let's see who wins.
Social Security was created after the stock market sank in the early 1930s.
The typical Chinese person doesn’t spend $1000 on a cell phone, and doesn’t have cause to feel sorry for that fact.
My Democratic friend gets angry because I don’t own a $1000 phone.
Why?
Because owning a $1000 phone can’t be considered an inherent entitlement.
Depends where you live. Cost of living is not the same across the country.
I’m continually amazed by those who want to deny some people a tax relief of some kind because “ they need to pay their fair share” or “they don’t deserve it” or “they should be able to get by without it”.
Who TF are you to decide someone can “get by” with 80k/yr?
On the eastern metropolis, where I live, 80K ain’t much at all.
Nancy is an Expert at Complaining but doing her Job , can you hear the crickets
You live in a much, much better neighborhood than I do.
I now understand the basis for your comments. Not agreeing with them, but I have insight into them now.
More Coward-Piven. Perhaps the President is using this strategy to eventually monetary system to it original form, namely one that is sustainable.
What's baseless? The fact that businesses have been closed down that didn't or don't need to be? That all the projected models were completely wrong? That even now, there is significant evidence that the data being reported is questionable; along with some of the accuracy of the tests themselves?
More Coward-Piven. Perhaps the President is using this strategy to eventually change the monetary system back to its original form, namely one that is sustainable.
Without legislation we’d have to pay it back so I’m saying “no thanks!”
“He really can’t. Bank on the fact that this “forgiveness” will become a major campaign theme for the GOP.”
Well, let’s all pray it works!
Trump clearly said in his speech that he would completely eliminate the federal payroll tax after his re-election. Which I totally agree with. A tax on a person’s labor has always been illegal in my opinion.
Nonsense. To you, $80k sounds like a lot of money, and if you live in Fargo, it might be. If you live in the Bay Area? Not so much.
