The Payroll Tax Holiday is and has always been a poison pill for Social Security

19. what are you talking about?

Do you read the newspaper? Did you read my post? Obviously payroll taxes are charged on all working incomes under $110,000. That is precisely why changing the tax code does nothing for the poorest workers who don't earn enough to pay federal income tax.

If the payroll tax holiday is Republican ploy, why has the President had to go to battle with them at every turn? Did you bother to look at Obama's website during this campaign? Did you bother reading Romney's economic plan or any of the analysis about it? How is it that Romney and Ryan proposed repealing the payroll tax holiday, that the House GOP has worked assiduously to end it, and the President included it as part of the Stimulus if it is a Republican ploy? There is a recent political history that exists in reality. You have dreamed up an alternative universe that bears no relation to actual legislation or party positions. That could be avoided by keeping yourself marginally informed on politics.

Since President Obama and the Democratic Party have such nefarious designs to destroy Social Security (because the reality is the payroll tax holiday is entirely their doing), why do you participate in a political website that promotes the Democratic Party? Or are you one of those people who decides whatever you like is attributed to one party and whatever you hate to another, without bothering to inform yourself on actual party positions?
