It might save someone $500. They aren’t even entertaining the no tax on social security that Trump wants. The GOP are no more interested in getting rid of the income tax than the Democrats are. 🙄

How about no child tax credit, no mortgage tax credit, no special tax exemption for SS….just a low flat income tax rate that everyone pays so we all have skin in the game but not much?

We can do that if we permanently trim the fat that DODGE found.

Where are the Spending Cuts?
What was the purpose of DOGE if GOP House and Senate won’t enact them?

Is Trump continues to overpromise and under deliver again.

Well, yes… Trump over promises, Republicans fail to deliver

They’d rather lose than lead.

“Another Hand Out to Boomers is not the way to a brighter future.”

Could you possibly explain how the tax bill is “another” hand out to Boomers?

When was the initial on? I am a boomer and have never had a hand out from the Federal government.

Young people eventually grow older and reach retirement age. Ending taxes on SS benefits would help younger generations, too.

You pay SS taxes your whole working life. And those SS taxes are not deductible, so you pay income tax on the SS taxes you pay.

When you finally reach retirement and receive SS benefits, you shouldn’t have to pay taxes again on the SS benefits.
