When you’re dealing with the government, there is no such thing as “honest.”
Why did I get stuck in general/chat?
AI ultimately follows its programming. So propaganda and lies it is.
On the issue of taxing SS benefits:
Taxing benefits if the recipients continue earning more than some set threshold disincentivizes working.
Stop the benefit taxing, and more people will be incentivized to work after “retirement”. These earnings will be subject to both income taxes and payroll taxes. So the taxes no longer due on SS benefits will be offset by increased tax revenue from productive labor. The extent of the offset could be estimated by economic analysts.
