| #16 Depending on how much you made you could be required to pay taxes on up to 75% of Socual Security. I have long assumed that by the time I started collecting Social Security, we’d be paying 100% “income” tax on what the government sent us. So we started saving early against that eventuality. |

| #15 Private sector cannot until all Public Sector Employers cuts 5% of workforce, and 5% on wages, and unemployed receive goods instead of money/credits. Thread winner. Well said. |

| #14 Supply and Demand I’m sure Mr Waller heard of it somewhere If demand is higher than supply, the price of supply will rise. These numbskulls don’t even understand basic economics much less macroeconomic and monetary theory We’re in worse trouble than I thought |

| #12 Real wages have gone down every month for close to two years. In cases where two openings are available for every job seeker, a wage level freeze will just double already high turnover rates. |

| #11 The biggest employer took 86,000 mop pushers off the hiring list for premium IRS wages, and yeah not the tax return department kind. A 20 hour week is going to be hard-core for those used to free foosball, private crying rooms, and a 5 Michelin Star buffet. |

| #10 Perhaps Musk has the right idea. Musk triggers liberals with email urging employees to commit to ‘extremely hardcore’ work: Musk's ‘hellscape' |

| #9 If the government was to actually cut staff you know it would just be the ones who send your tax refunds and issue your drivers licenses. |

| #6 These people really hate the regular worker, don't they? Yes they do.If you are on Social Security and still have to work you pay Social Security and Medicare. A certain amount is taken out of your Social Security for Medicare. After a certain amount of pay from your job you have to pay taxes on that plus taxes are taken out of your Social Security. Depending on how much you made you could be required to pay taxes on up to 75% of Socual Security. They really do look at it as THEIR money. |
