Seniors

that those of us who are now retired paid when we were working.

That is my understanding.

When I received my Social Security card way back in the 1950s, I was advised that the amounts of my benefits would depend on how much I put into that insurance fund.

So, I do not understand how people now working will be credited for this time when they become eligible for benefits if the payroll tax vacation is continued.

I would like to see middle class people and low-income people get the tax relief, but reducing payroll taxes is not the way to do it.
