Trump administration allows deferral of Social Security tax



"It allows employers to offer their workers a temporary deferral of the 6.2% payroll tax employees pay into the Social Security Trust Fund for the rest of this year. The taxes owed would not be forgiven, and instead would come due in 2021."



Just wait. A ton of people will be literally "shocked", "shocked" i tell you when the bill comes due.

But it might get our corrupt President some votes. November comes before April/tax day.

And that will be a Biden tax day that Republicans will blame on Biden and the Dems, as usual, will find it beneath them to defend.

Smart businesses will ignore the whole fraudulent scam. Withhold and deposit as normal. Don't screw your workers.

i bet some will have to do it.

Yup. This was an action that is almost as stupid as it is abusive - and it is quite abusive.

Yup. If a future Congress decides to make those cuts into an actual tax cut, they can get it back.


But - while I am generally a fan of getting rid of withholding alltogether as a good-governance measure - this kind of Stealth way of doing it will only screw over Americans.

You seem to think people are stupid and will be shocked when they find out the bill is due.

Who knows...you just might be right.

....Eh. It may help, but, the odds are still against it, and, frankly, I'm not sure than an extra $10 in someone's pocket is really going to change their vote that much. If I had to point to issues with greater salience that could actually help get Trump reelected (and, again, the odds are still against it), I would point to the possibility that riots in cities continue and/or worsen, or the possibility that Biden has a "Senior Moment" on a debate stage, or in some other viral public venue.

Read his EO. It is based on laws that were written by Congress and passed by Presidents.

Once again, showing just how ignorant almost everyone in the anti-trump camp can be about something as simple as their taxes. Is probably not the best method for you to start a thread.

Well, you've already asked way too much of them.

How about something more productive?
I suggest teaching a penguin to moonlight as a Thai kickboxing, luchador... Seeing as that's more feasible than your prior request.

This president does not have the authority to make this change....... no president will ever have that authority.

The house and senate DO write legislation and they pass legislation = the president is a figure head that needs to be reined in big time. He does not understand his job ........ though he would love to be a dictator which is why Trump and followers should move to Russia or China or Saudi Arabia.

Re: Oh, Trump just screwed people on tax day. "Trump Admin allows deferral of Social Security tax."

During the 20th century, there were several periods lasting more than ten years when the return on stocks was negative.

After the Dow Jones stock index went down by over 75% between 1929 and 1933, the Dow did not return to its 1929 level until 1953.

In claiming that the rate of return on a stock investment is guaranteed to be greater than the return on any other asset, would be lying. If an investment-firm broker made this claim to his clients, he would be arrested and charged with stock fraud. Michael Milken went to jail for several years for making just this type of promise about financial investments.

As it is....... I've never met anyone who turned away their Social Security Insurance or Medicare Insurance. Both are a best bang for the buck.

If your retirement investments are NOT secured against just about everything it's time to move that money and KEEP SOCIAL SECURITY INSURANCE AND MEDICARE INSURANCE. There are millions in America that
are damn glad they did.
