Got an Email from Social Security today. [View all]

They are bragging that a large number of Social Security recipients will no longer be taxed on their benefits.

What they didn't mention was the billions of dollars this takes out of the trust accounts. Income taxes levied on Social Security go back to Social Security to be used later. This means that the time frame to exhaust the trust fund will come sooner that the last report stated.

Another way to hack away at the system.

Start your campaigns now to raise the amounts to be paid into the system and raise the max salary limit into the system.
