Trump Proposes Elimination of Social Security Taxes for Seniors Amid $35 Trillion Debt
Jul 31, 2024, 03:37 PM
Former President Donald Trump has announced a new policy proposal to eliminate taxes on Social Security benefits for seniors. This proposal, made through his Truth Social platform, has garnered significant attention and support. Trump's stance is that seniors, who have paid into Social Security throughout their working lives, should not be taxed on the benefits they receive. The proposal contrasts with past Democratic measures, including those supported by President Joe Biden, which have taxed Social Security benefits for higher-income individuals. Trump’s announcement has sparked discussions about the financial implications, including the context of the $35 trillion debt, and the political motivations behind the proposal.
