The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Currently, someone earning $160,000 per year stops paying FICA taxes and it kicks back in around $400k.

cnbc.com - Biden budget calls for protecting and strengthening social security.

President Biden wants to make people earning over 400k - pay into FICA at those levels.

Then let's go to the Vanity Posters for upper income White Professionals who are greedy and hate to admit it: Liz Warren and Bernie Sanders. They want people over $250k income - to start contributing FICA at that level.

But why not people over $160,000? Someone making $200,000.....under Lizzy and Bernie's plan - would be NO Fica tax on 20% of their income.

While the poor single mom making $40k - has to pay FICA on 100% of her income.

Democrats: Of, by, and for the white and the upper income.

They are for immigrants - but only the ones that would work for them - not challenge them.
