Remember all that money taken from your pay for Social Security? Did you know you aren't going to ever get it?

[Anonymous]

Trump and Musk are going to take it to finance tax cuts for the wealthy. Aren't you happy now that you voted for him and supported him so he can steal from you?

I learned how Social Security is a shitty system for our benefits, however that being said… It is better to have benefits than to not especially as the economy is falling apart under their watch.

If It were Joe Biden pushing to kill Social Security, I would’ve spoken out and this is bad. There is no plus.

“When you stand for nothing, you’ll fall for anything”. Explains a lot.

[Opinion Owner]

What I mean by “Stand for nothing, fall for anything” is basically we told people for years they want to kill Medicaid & Social Security benefits so they called us “haters”. Now that they see the party’s true intentions, they are going: “actually that is a good thing. I can’t explain to you why it is a good thing, just trust me bro”. I stood for end to Afghanistan War regardless of Administration, so whoever fails I didn’t just go “Ummm actually the war is a good thing”. These type of individuals in the larger Republican Group clearly have no values / or political views other than “worship & consume & defend”(sheeple)

I started collecting my retirement under Trump’s last reign. Now if he cuts out the taxes on SS. I will get a nice raise!
So, Middle aged anonymous. Plus keep working and paying my retirement!

Thank you for the MHO!

Exactly. There is a reason for their every move. Congrats voters. Look what you've won and taken from so many.

Actually I am not only getting it but soon I will be getting a substantial raise to to the repeal of WEP and once Trump gets his tax bill passed I will get another raise because it will no longer be taxed.
The idea that Trump will cut Social Security is laughable.

[Asker]

If it's so laughable, why is he now talking about it?

[exitseven]

He is debunking the claims that he is going to end Social Security. The democrats lie about this to scare old people.

[Asker]

He just said he is going to eliminate social security and said it many times in the past.

[exitseven]

Can you find a video? I could probably find a dozen where he says it won't be touched

[Asker]

sure = post some of those along with the dates they were made.

[exitseven]

This was a direct quote when he was interviewed by Sean Hannity on Tuesday. He will stop payments to dead people and illegal aliens but will not touch any benefits for Americans. That incudes Medicare and Medicaid too.

And you continue to spread misinformation. SCUMp's tax bill does NOT include:
* tax free social security
* tax free tips

What it DOES include:
* increase in taxes to those earning under $400,000
* an 825% tax break for the richest 1%

Guess you got played again.

[exitseven]

@loveslongnails total lie. It will eliminate taxes on tips, social security and overtime pay. It will lower the corporate tax rate for corporations on US soil. It does not give tax breaks for the 1%. Where the hell do you find this stuff?

[loveslongnails]

Look up the bill. Where do you get your shit from? There is NO provision for tax free social or tips. He's just "talking about how to make it work". *smh* No corporations are coming back to US soil EXCEPT the ones that Biden got the CHIPS programs going for. The US tax break wouldn't come close to the labor cost savings they already have, and he's not going to tariff US companies.

Using the Tax Foundation’s General Equilibrium Model, we estimate Trump’s tax proposals would increase long-run GDP by 0.8 percent, the capital stock by 1.7 percent, wages by 0.8 percent, and employment by 597,000 full-time equivalent jobs.

We estimate the proposals would increase the 10-year budget deficit by $3 trillion conventionally and $2.5 trillion dynamically. The debt-to-GDP ratio would increase from its long-run projected level of 201.2 percent to 223.1 percent on a conventional basis and 217 percent on a dynamic basis. Increased deficits and a higher debt load would require higher interest payments on the debt that would reduce American incomes as measured by GNP by almost 0.8 percent; the higher interest payments drive a wedge between the long-run effect on output of 0.8 percent and the long-run effect on GNP of -0.1 percent.

This is NOT a good plan. Wages and the GDP go up less than ONE PERCENT over the long run and the deficit goes up by 2.5 TRILLION dollars! A 0.8% GDP growth for $2.5 trillion in deficit... are you NUTS? Go Google the tax model breaks for the various incomes. Good Lord!! Wake up! His hand is in your pocket and you think it feels good.

Impact Of Donald Trump’s Tax Proposals by Income Group
Former President Donald Trump has proposed a wide variety of tax policy changes. Taken together, these proposals would, on average, lead to a tax cut for the richest 5 percent of Americans and a tax increase for all other income groups.

If these proposals were in effect in 2026, the richest 1 percent would receive an average tax cut of about $36,300 and the next richest 4 percent would receive an average tax cut of about $7,200. All other groups would see a tax increase with the hike on the middle 20 percent at about $1,500 and the increase on the lowest-income 20 percent of Americans at about $800.

@loveslongnails The CHIPS bill did not generate a single job, you can look it up. Companies that Trump puts tariffs on will build factories in America because there will be no tariffs charged. Also domestic oil production will make a comeback. 3 Tech companies will invest 500 billion into an Artificial Intelligence facility in Texas. Other companies are interested.
Trump's tax bill will also make the Trump tax cuts permanent.
Trump's tax proposals will cause a bigger jump in GDP. It will be more like the 2.3% that he averaged during his first term, which included the Covid shutdown.

[loveslongnails]

BULLSHIT !! You're not tax expert. You're lying.
DOMESTIC OIL PRODUCTION IS AT THE HIGHEST LEVELS IN HISTORY UNDER BIDEN !!
You just keep spreading BULLSHIT !!! Damn !! Remember FOXCONN? Emphasis on "con"

Here - I did look it up... you are sooooooooo full of shit !

Jobs Created by CHIPS Program
The CHIPS and Science Act has led to significant job creation across the United States. By November 14, 2024, it was estimated that the CHIPS Act alone had led to 37 projects worth $272 billion and a predicted 36,300 jobs.
When combined with Inflation Reduction Act investments, the total number of projects reached 218, worth $388 billion and creating 135,800 jobs.
As of August 9, 2024, the Commerce Department had announced over $30 billion in proposed CHIPS private sector investments spanning 23 projects in 15 states, expected to create over 115,000 manufacturing and construction jobs.

Additionally, the act has spurred investments in workforce development, such as GlobalFoundries receiving $1.5 billion to fund three projects, expected to create 1,500 manufacturing jobs.

[exitseven]

@loveslongnails a "prediceted" 36,300 jobs
e"xpected "to create over 115,000 manufacturing jobs.

There were all imaginary numbers. The reality is that not one single job was really created and all that money is gone. I read today that President Trump said that the CHIPS act was dead.

[loveslongnails]

More BULLSHIT from your fuhrer that you believe, because that's what you do. " I read today that President Trump said that the CHIPS act was dead." And you believe it.

He also said he's polling at a 72% approval rate.
He also said Mexico was paying for a wall.

You believe anything he says, exit. That's why... you are in a cult. Your leader/fuhrer is infallible to you, never wrong, and you are never to question anything he says. You are in a cult.
