Damn! Just how effing close to the edge are people living when 2% of their check is a tipping point?
They forget that this 2% was an Obama/Congress giveback (for which they had no ACTUARIAL basis on doing) of INSURANCE, I repeat, INSURANCE contrutions to Social Security, mandated under the FEDERAL INSURANCE CONTRIBUTIONS ACT (FICA) for OLD AGE, SURVIVOR, and DISABILITY INSURANCE (OASDI).
I know why he did it and he KNEW they holler, big time. Look for a replacement payoff, because you can’t cut his voters any slack or ‘temporarily give’ them ANYTHING...once given, always assumed. I have no pity for someone living within 2% of poverty.
There are a lot of people these days living that close to the edge; where $100-$200 a month will mean cutting back on essentials like basic food. The obama destruction of the economy is on the way to making many people/families destitute.
People are living very, very close to the edge. We are, but that’s mostly our making for now. Those on the edge are not just Obama voters getting hit, these are MANY conservatives who just want to make a go on their own that are taking it. These are tithers, workers, stay-at-home moms, and a way of life that will disappear.
Anyone hear the woman on Rush Limbaugh and how her family is already struggling and this will just make it that much harder, or impossible? I know people making around $32,000 that will be paying $900 more in taxes this year. That’s a mortgage payment, a tank of propane, lots of gasoline or nine weeks of groceries with nothing to pay them with. Thanks a heck of a lot, politicians, may our realities be yours.
No one has even ventured to guess what sort of deductions they will take away on next year’s taxes.
