Once again we are being scammed by the false promises of politicians. They all sound good when wanting our votes, but someone needs to explain the meaning of the word “no” to those who promised no tax on Social Security and overtime.
Anyone who recently filed their tax return has learned that “No” doesn’t mean no. An extra deduction to reduce the tax on Social Security and overtime doesn’t mean no tax, as many of us are learning the hard way.
This was not the campaign promise that I and many others thought we were getting. Lies and deception get votes but will any politician ever be forthright and truthful? I think not. That ship has sailed .
