#47 President Donald Trump

He’d sure as shit be taking all the credit for it if it was going well.

It’s wild to me how his supporters just gloss over this move of his and no seed of questioning is ever planted.

Just did a tax return on a retired couple...they aren't old enough to take RMDs from their IRAs yet so social security and interest income is their only reportable income.

Total interest $5,440, Total SS $66,148....taxable income $0

Just pointing out how the "no tax on social security" thing is geared heavily toward the wealthy.

$66K plus social security for one year? Holy shit! We get no more near that much.

High earner...two high earners together can gross about $80K. Kind of crazy.

And zero tax if that is your only income.

Yeah but I wonder if the return equals the investment. I will wait until 67 to claim it but it seems like have been paying much more. Probably from age 20 or so.

I started putting into social security when I was 14 years old. I went and got a job at a local hot dog stand. Haha

depends on how long you live...that's what makes the decision of taking it at 62 vs full retirement age hard to answer.

I ran my numbers and found that if I knew for a fact that I would live to 80 it would make sense to wait to pull SS until I was 70. Then if I live to 90 my SS benefit payout would have been about $120K higher than pulling at 67...$319K more if I pulled at 62.

If I pull at 67 vs 62 and live to 90 it's a gap of about $200K. Can be significant

Remember the underground "mine" President Musk mentioned? The federal workers there were interviewed, and it's no surprise they voted for Trump. What frustrates me is that now they're regretting their vote because it hurt them. They fail to see the bigger picture—how social services, undocumented tax dollars, and free education for all children benefit our country. For them, it's all about "me, me, me," mixed with hate for anyone who doesn't look like them.

would assume a flurry of lawsuits claiming cruel and unusual punishment are coming once implemented.

Same. Paper route and a caddy! The question I am asking is whether I will get back what I paid into it. I have been paying into it for 40+ years. I have never really crunched the numbers.
