“I don’t understand why 2% points less on soc.sec. rather than say a slight reduction in income tax for under $100k.”
That doesn’t make any sense to me either, Pete. Reduction in paying into SS is not a good idea. But income tax reduction makes practical sense to me, too.

It’s amazing that they’ve had control since the election and haven’t FIXED it all yet! : P

Warren Buffet has no problems with his class paying more taxes. And if he thought would stifle job creation, he would be against it.

Extending tax cuts does not magically cause job creation. Necessary but not sufficient.
