Taxing social security income is beyond stupid. You pay in as a tax, then when you get something back, that’s taxed, which is just like reducing what is paid in the first place.

Dumb. Just dumb.

For every $6 worth of entitlement that goes to seniors children under 16 will get $1. The Rats will point it out but most seniors have an “I got mine” attitude. I say peel them away.

Isn’t that what happens every April 15? And we are all excited to see that check, right?

I agree. Taxing SS is just really means testing the program.

If you work too much then they take it away.

I know a few people on SS that are under 65. When they hit the tax line they stop working for the year.

Well, it was Clinton/Gore that came up with that brilliant idea. So we see why it is so dumb and what dummies to blame.

Do we tax welfare payments?

If so, tax SS.
