I never understood why SS is taxed… it is money that I (and sometimes my employer) have put in over my working life. On the other hand, Democrats never saw a dollar the did not want! No quarter .308/.223 | |||

Yes, it’s our money we’re being taxed twice on, but that’s hardly limited to Social Security payments. The rationale of taxing Social Security is of course in keeping with that fine old American tradition* of “from each according to his ability, to each according to his need,” i.e., income tax varies according to one’s total income. My wife and I, for example, get not only Social Security but also unrelated pensions and other income, including from my part time employment. Most people would therefore agree that we should be taxed on all of it. * ![]() ► 6.0/94.0 To operate serious weapons in a serious manner. | |||

Thank you Very little ![]() |
Of course you are referring to that fine old Russian tradition! ![]() The phrase "From each according to his ability, to each according to his need" is a principle popularized by Karl Marx in his "Critique of the Gotha Programme." It suggests a system where individuals contribute to society based on their capacity and receive resources based on their needs, rather than their contributions. In a communist society envisioned by Marx, this principle would be a foundational element of production and distribution. | |||

There will never be a 3rd term president. Congress cannot strip the SCOTUS of their original jurisdiction. | |||

Not since the 22nd Amendment was ratified in 1951. Before that there was no limit, and FDR did 4 terms (he died in office during the 4th term). | |||

Marxist, but yes. What is ironic, though, is that many of the practices and policies in the US today and dating back at least a century or more and even before the Communist revolution are essentially based on the same idea even if not expressed as such. If someone has a lot of money or even owns something like valuable property such as a house—and regardless of one’s income—the state will demand he pay to support the people who don’t. The Marxist “ability” could be considered to be capability to provide productive work, but here and now it more refers to the (supposed) ability to pay. ► 6.0/94.0 To operate serious weapons in a serious manner. | |||

That’s a pretty calloused way to refer to people having families. You’re talking about my wife and children like that. How about this, you get out of my pocket and I’ll get out of yours. If government didn’t take half of what I make, I wouldn’t have had to be subsidized with tax breaks. And for the record, in your old age when you need help to survive, you’ll be grateful women gave birth to the next generations. There’s not much that goes on here that pisses me off but I don’t like being called a breeder. The homosexual community refers to heterosexuals as breeders and they do it with sneering derision.

"Breeders" is a crude epithet used by homosexuals to degrade heterosexual couples. The derogatory term aside, how would you increase the population in the USA? Continue to import people who may or may not respect this country, or encourage productive Americans to have larger families? Right or wrong, tax policy has been used to encourage certain behaviors (Home ownership, having children) or discourage others (smoking, drinking, gasoline use, productivity, etc), and it is effective. . | |||

Yep. I wonder what the breeder that shat him out would think of his statement. This space intentionally left blank. | |||

You all know exactly what Patriot was referring too and you need to get over yourselves. Poor choice of words, but I am sure he was referring to the welfare queens that have made an industry of producing children out of wedlock and using them as an income source. Even if they do not pay into the tax system, many of them can get these federal (and some state) tax monies if they file, and believe me they do file as that is part of the welfare grift. And, many of those children will do nothing productive with their lives except learn the same game or become menaces to society. The "Boz" | |||
