^^"I own my own business so I have to write quarterly checks to the govt...unlike many of you who are employees and have your taxes taken out and then get nice refund checks.
I never get a refund check. "
FICA weekly withholding is what keeps the US Government greased. FICA weekly withholding tables (rates) are padded. Excess taxes paid by employees and withheld by their employers, then remitted to the IRS, by law are refunded to the taxpayer. Sounds like you have never employed someone on a payroll basis -- otherwise you would know this Robbie.
First of all this is Trump's wish budget -- a lot of this will get cut.
A substantial part of any benefits savings by any cuts should be reinvested in the infrastructure of this country and in subsidizing education costs for those that are either talented younger people in school now or adults seeking retraining in vocational pursuits in the new post industrial economy.
People kicked to the curb in SSI Disability and SNAP food stamp cuts will no longer have the means to participate in the economy. I am assuming that the government will not let them live in tent cities, eating earthworms and what they can find in dumpsters. By cutting Medicaid there will be more unpaid care at public hospitals and the hospitals will raise their rates and you will pay more in private insurance premiums -- the government may offer you a stipend to support this cost. So who is the new welfare client?
There is abuse is SSI Disability. If you can prove you are wacko you get SSI and Medicare. So kick all the wackos to the curb and life will be perfect?
