That's important since most auto repair shops, especially the better ones, don't like to work on these kind of vehicles. If they need parts they are near impossible to get and the chance of fixing a sticky pedal without parts is not something the average auto repair dealer would want to take. Most are too busy anyway.
So Kurt may have had a hard time getting the problem fixed. Just a guess.
The same thing happens here. Trump is a threat to democracy. He is compared to Hitler.
Yup. However, concerning the Netherlands, I’m not sure Wilders will be able to form a government. The Far-Left parties are going to block him.
Ok AB...there’s a cloud of confusion here.
YOU do not pay anything toward anyone else’s SS but your own. But you day pay more, perhaps, for a product of a manufacturer who DOES pay 6.2%, exactly the same as every SS contributor.
But ok, that’s a product. But argument is...SS does affect the economy in which you live.
Illegal immigrants now want their share of the American Pie.
Biden will make sure they are comfortable, because his handlers are Simon Says. Simon Says outnumber MAGA. The Media listens to Simon Says.
National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan said Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union” that they “have reason to believe” that later in the day, one American will be released today.
Wow! As Dubya Bush said after Katrina, "Good job, Brownie!"
The pressure on Israel, including the US, will be enormous to make the ceasefire permanent. It is interesting to see the term "humanitarian pause" dropped for "ceasefire." Hamas is winning the information war.
Agreed about your employer also paying. And you’re right, that gets passed on to the customers in the product, goods or services they provide.
EXCEPT... When I worked as a contractor, getting a 1099 each year from each contract, I had to pay BOTH sides of Social Security.
h/t The Mayor
The Mayor knows the family personally.
It does sound like it was a tragic accident.

Many people believe that Social Security is an “earned right.” That is, they think that because they have paid Social Security taxes, they are entitled to receive Social Security benefits. The government encourages that belief by referring to Social Security taxes as “contributions,” as in the Federal Insurance Contribution Act. However, in the 1960 case of Fleming v. Nestor, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that workers have no legally binding contractual rights to their Social Security benefits, and that those benefits can be cut or even eliminated at any time.
Ephram Nestor was a Bulgarian immigrant who came to the United States in 1918 and paid Social Security taxes from 1936, the year the system began operating, until he retired in 1955. A year after he retired, Nestor was deported for having been a member of the Communist Party in the 1930s. In 1954 Congress had passed a law saying that any person deported from the United States should lose his Social Security benefits. Accordingly, Nestor’s $55.60 per month Social Security checks were stopped. Nestor sued, claiming that because he had paid Social Security taxes, he had a right to Social Security benefits.
The Supreme Court disagreed, saying “To engraft upon the Social Security system a concept of ‘accrued property rights’ would deprive it of the flexibility and boldness in adjustment to ever changing conditions which it demands.” The Court went on to say, “It is apparent that the non‐contractual interest of an employee covered by the [Social Security] Act cannot be soundly analogized to that of the holder of an annuity, whose right to benefits is bottomed on his contractual premium payments.”
The Court’s decision was not surprising. In an earlier case, Helvering v. Davis (1937), the Court had ruled that Social Security was not a contributory insurance program, saying, “The proceeds of both the employee and employer taxes are to be paid into the Treasury like any other internal revenue generally, and are not earmarked in any way.”
In other words, Social Security is not an insurance program at all. It is simply a payroll tax on one side and a welfare program on the other. Your Social Security benefits are always subject to the whim of 535 politicians in Washington. Congress has cut Social Security benefits in the past and is likely to do so in the future. In fact, given Social Security’s financial crisis, benefit cuts are almost inevitable. Several proposals to cut benefits, from increasing the retirement age to means testing, are already being debated.
In contrast, under a privatized Social Security system, workers would have full property rights in their retirement accounts. They would own the money in them, the same way people own their IRAs or 401(k) plans. Congress would have no right to touch that money.
They will do whatever necessary to destroy country after country so they can loot what they want.
In Libya Hillary Clinton alone stole one billion in gold from Qaddafi and hid it in:
hold on:
Qatar
That's right the one who is negoatiating for Hamas and the IDF. The country that funds most terrorists in the region including the biggest of all, the MB,muslim brotherhood. Libya was destroyed by Soros since Qaddafi wanted to secure the dinar,their currency,with gold.that would never happen accd. to soros. He destroyed the entire country and stole whatever they wanted.
Great visuals today bud!They really show what is happening.
Every word which is written in your post is correct.
And AB is right on about private contractors have to pay 12.8% plus some percentage for processing, just like a business must do. I did this once for a living, no particularly proud of it.
Cousin Mike’s got about the privacy of the 401K , SS benefits and amounts controlled by congress et al.
This group has a grip on it all.
IMO the greatest danger is when US/NATO realize that the war is unwinnable and the very existence of Ukraine as an independent country is at stake. Will we have some sort of false flag event like the Gulf of Tonkin incident that draws us into direct confrontation with Russia? Having Blinken, Nuland, and Sullivan in charge does not instill confidence that we will make the right decisions. Blowing up the Nordstream II pipeline was reckless.
The fat “bridge tender” is relegated to CNN the countrys worst network other than msnbc. This shows how low you go when you go after the best president of our times.
Exactly right we all paid our own way and some of us for our employees as well. It was one of my worst investments ever but we had to pay anyway.
You are not alone. Underground incomes are very alive and well.....
Veteran Dutch anti-Islam politician Geert Wilders on Saturday vowed to be prime minister of the Netherlands, after an election in which his party won the most seats.
In a long post on X, formerly Twitter, that expressed frustration at other parties for their apparent unwillingness to cooperate with his Freedom party (PVV), Wilders said he would “continue to moderate” his positions if necessary to gain power.
“Today, tomorrow or the day after, the PVV will be part of government and I will be prime minister of this beautiful country,” Wilders wrote.
Although Wilders’ PVV, which stood on an anti-immigration platform, finished well ahead of rivals in the 22 November vote, his party is forecast to take only 25% of the seats in the Dutch parliament.
That means he will have to cooperate with at least two more moderate parties in order to form a government.
On Friday, the conservative VVD party of caretaker prime minister Mark Rutte, which shares many of Wilders’ views on immigration, said it would not participate in a cabinet with him.
However, the VVD’s new leader, Dilan Yeşilgöz-Zegerius, did not rule out offering a Wilders government outside support.
Pieter Omtzigt, who leads the centrist reform NSC party and is also seen as a likely partner in a Wilders government, has said cooperation will be difficult due to extreme positions he has voiced that appear to violate Dutch constitutional protections on freedom of religion.
Dutch coalition talks usually take months, and positions about parties’ willingness to work with each other can shift as time goes on.
If Wilders is unable to form a government, more centrist combinations that exclude the PVV are theoretically possible, while new elections would be a last resort.
