Nothing more, nothing less. That is all it ever was.

Re: POTUS 45.22 - The Genius of Donald Trump
If you replaced the dependent, itemized deduction, health insurance, and every other deduction with 1 flat amount (I keep picking $45K), would that be a bad idea??
FYI - My wife and I had $31K in deductions on an AGI of $155K.

It would be great if they were a vote short and one of them (say, Flake, because he is the most malignant of them) just sent a letter to the wealthiest 600 families and said "my price is one trillion dollars." It would be worth the investment to them since they stand to steal ten times that much with this bill.

Originally posted by Drew S. View PostTrue insurance premiums you hope never to have to collect on, obviously. With retirement though, it is something most people hope to obtain and it is certainly a reasonable expectation.
And social security has been very successful in preventing people at retirement age from being poverty stricken. VERY SUCCESSFUL.**NOTE: The misleading post above was brought to you by Reynold's Wrap and American Steeples, makers of Crosses.

I agree with you on the disability piece. Perhaps that could be separated from the retirement component?Originally posted by BobbyBrady

Originally posted by Drew S. View Post25 years ago you would have been right. Most of us in the private sector don't get pensions anymore though. I would assume for probably 90% of people social security is their biggest source of income in retirement.
