Well, we are and it will be great.

After growing up in NY - The Vampire State, this would be awesome.

YES!!! Fellow New Yorker here (Ithaca, of all places, yikes), and 73, so I'm taking SocSec and would love to see it all land without tax.

A bit misleading. No tax on social security and not no tax at all. I’ll take what I can get though. I’ve paid taxes for close to 60 years by now and think I and others have paid enough, at least to some limitation.

Inside every old person is a young person saying, “Wait! What just happened here?!”

I’m 74. I recently started exploring a small start-up remote bookkeeping business in WA state. The idea was to work alone with 15 clients yielding an average income of $7,500/mo. The goal was to produce at least $50K of disposable income to spend on travel and $50K per year on a nest egg inheritance to pass to family. I don’t have any issue with paying taxes on that income, but it doesn’t pencil out if my SS benefits are taxed into oblivion in the bargain, so the idea is just hanging fire for now. It won’t become a reality unless Pres. Trump omits SS from taxation. I’d like the extra discretionary income, but not willing to go back to working just to support my State and Federal government to piss half my extra income away as it currently does.

“ Wow this would be great if I were old”
*****************************************

Yes, as I sit here on the cusp of the beginning of my 80th year of life on this planet, I feel the same. I’m still trying to figure out what I want to be when I grow up.

While I await the uncertain arrival of “oldness” I would like to see income taxation of social security ended but I definitely do NOT want to see the cap on SALT deductibility raised. I’d actually like to see SALT deduction actually ENDED completely… no more subsidy of blue state taxes.

Half the wealth in the US is owned by those over 65.

Yup. I hear you. But watch NYS figure out some way of screwing seniors over.
