BTW if you remove the SS cap, about 12 million people will be paying more (7% of the employed population make more than 175k per year, according to the IRS). Yes, it's more income for the IRS, but also more people pissed off about raised taxes. They'll likely talk about it at their annual caviar charity polo match.

Welfare is abused, ain't no doubt about. Meth is cheap. Pot is cheap. Fentanyl is cheap.
One can stay strung out in HUD housing for a long time and not hit a lick at a snake. If they were broke, they couldn't buy drugs. If they were hungry, they would work.
There's a reason I walked through a multimillion dollar job earlier this week and saw one white person (the job super), no black people and enough Mexicans to reenact the Battle of the Alamo.

I think everybody on this board has been in favor of a removal of the SS cap.
Speak for yourselves! I make $2 million per year and have no need to pay social security after the first $175k... aka what I call January's paycheck.

Will Trump sue the publisher of this poll too?

Is he wrong?
“Unless I get a lobotomy Monday that causes me to forget what I’ve witnessed the past 12 years, I’ll be a NO on the CR this week,” Mr. Massie wrote on social media, using the shorthand for a continuing resolution to keep funding the government at current spending levels. “It amazes me that my colleagues and many of the public fall for the lie that we will fight another day.”

That sounds about right to me.
Will it hurt?
Sure, we are due for a lot of pain, we've put it off long enough.

It's not easy but bloody hell we just need like a 20-year simple plan that is immutable. Probably something that echoes what @LuFins-Dad usually says about this topic, spending as a % of GDP or something.

@jon-nyc Yes he is, but he probably has reason to be worried.
President Trump says someone is bad - automatic 20-30% vote for the opponent, regardless of what the truth is.
