They live high on the hog like kings while the rest of Americans loose their jobs & homes. They cut education, social security or any other decant programs so they can spend more on their pork.This bail out has become a disaster placing Obomas gurus in charge with the government taking over everything. America has got to take back our country. Toss the crooks out & bring our constitution back along with God.If they want to share the wealth, let them share their wealth, they have taken all of ours. If we don't stand up we are doomed.God help us.... 78816@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Thu, 08 Oct 2009 00:00:00 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/111_HR_161.html#66150 PatriciaGE1S9 is one of those who will take any opportunity to beat their personal agenda, regardless of the situation or audience. As to the bill, I fully support the repeal of income tax on social security benefits. I believe it should be treated the same as a traditional IRA. We paid taxes on the money we paid into the system. We should not have to pay taxes on the money when we take it out.... 66150@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Sat, 12 Sep 2009 00:00:00 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/111_HR_161.html#65919 If PatriciaGE1S9 is collecting social security, I am against this bell.... 65919@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Thu, 10 Sep 2009 00:00:00 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/111_HR_161.html#65138 I went to a citizen forum a while ago and asked a Congressman why the SS money we pay in can't cover all expenses, he said it is put into treasury bonds and is good as gold. But really the gov. takes this cash,spends it for unknown reasons and leaves worthless paper in it's place. When I questioned the congressman about this he said I was talking too loud and never answered the question.

According to Congressional Budget Office, 39% of(or 16.9 million) ss beneficiaries were affected by the income taxation of ss benefits in 2005. 32% of ss benefits affected in 2000; and 26%in 1998.

At the fifty percent rate , it is credited to old-age and survivors insurance trust fund, the disabilty trust fund and the railroad retirement system, all based on the source of the benefit taxed...In 1993 Tier 2 was passed.....and taxes up to 85% of benefits on income exceeding 44,000.00 (married couples) and tax proceed goes to medicare hospital insurance trust fund....all this is not indexed for inflation or wage growth......Now how wrong is all this?

SS was a tax burden in 1936. SS tax Act in its beginning had a known Terminal date. Utilizing the acorn Shell Game method-deception, this date has progressively been moved outward to todays relization of 'terminal'. Tax a Tax?

If the black population, and the youth of this country, who were the deciding votes do not wake up to the fact that this Socialist is heading us toward a dictatorship, then we are doomed. Take away the people's money via taxes and unlawful legislation, guns through scare tactics and intimidation of gun owners, and the rights by getting activist judges on the various court benches throughout this nation, and finally there you have it - Socialism and eventually Communism.
