I agree, no tax on SS.

[Mariner]

“I agree, no tax on SS.”

Only the rich pay taxes on SS.

The left would rot in the gutters of hell before they would allow such a thing to happen.

[Vigilanteman]

They taxed your "contributions" as taxable income even if the contributions weren't voluntary. Should be the same principle as the Roth 401(K)-- no tax on withdrawals.

Although it might be fun to put congress in a dilemma-- no tax coming out or no tax on "contributions" going in. Which will it be?
