re: #122 whitebeach

Then there are lots of folks like me. I live on a small pension and an even smaller Social Security check (small, thanks to a W Bush law I’d never heard of till the SS lady told me, in effect, “Son, you got to understand”). A $4,000 tax cut, even if real, would mean absolutely nothing to me.

I wonder if that’s the same law I hit. I worked all of the quarters I needed by law before I got married. And year after year I got a notice saying I was covered. Then all of a sudden, right before I hit retirement age, they dropped all of those quarters, because I didn’t make a minimum amount of money. Presto. No SS.
