guess what? a payroll tax cut doesn’t help me one cent. not one cent. i will not benefit one single penny, so it didn’t buy my vote.
i’m not even saying i agree with a payroll tax cut, as SS has enough problems with funding. what i’m saying, is that this cut, by definition, does nothing to help the wealthy. maybe business owners? if they no longer need to pay the 7.65% for their employees? but this cut does plenty to help average working joes.
everyone who makes less than 104k a year, is going to see a very nice bump on their paychecks. a very nice bump. 7.65% of your gross is a big deal.
did you complain about authoritarianism when obama
signed executive orders? or is it only problematic for you when republicans do it?

First of all, Jim, I’m a man, and my name is Rick, goddamit!
Sorry, I just wanted to sound like Bones there for a second.
All I’m trying to illustrate is that they payroll tax cut ONLY helps you if you have an actual job.
For people like me whose whole company got nuked on April 1st, it doesn’t mean anything to me. So, yeah, I’m pretty bitter. My wife went from making $1000 a week to $100 a week, as well. Her job gave her 9 hours last week.
So, while there may be people out there that might benefit from this, unfortunately it’s kinda stressful when you gotsta come up with bill money and combined, my family worked 9 hours last week.
This is no joke. For me, it’s an emergency. So, yeah, I’m not out looking at waterfront bungalows, or picking daisies, or whatever the people who didn’t have their lives totally disrupted by COVIDgate.
And I build accounting interfaces that put together automated P&L’s. I’m well aware about EXACTLY what payroll tax is, what it does, and also how much it breaks down as a percentage of gross. Wanna talk about Controllable G&A or ask about Advanced Principles of Depreciation percentage? I’m all ears.
Love,
The Poster
