Less than two months before the 2024 election, the race is close, with voters split between former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris.
However, there seems to be a consensus that the economy is among voters’ top issues, and according to polls, the majority trust Trump more to get the country back on track.
A recent Wall Street Journal poll found that 83 percent of registered voters either strongly or somewhat favor Trump’s proposal to end taxes on Social Security benefits. Sixty-four percent of respondents said they “strongly favored” cutting taxes on Social Security benefits, and 19 percent said they “somewhat” favor the policy. Just ten percent opposed it.
The WSJ found that 16 percent of American households would benefit from Trump’s tax cut proposal, saving them about $3,400.
The income tax on benefits hit 50% of Social Security recipients in 2023, according to the Social Security Administration, up from 10% when Congress created the tax in 1983. Many retirees are surprised when they learn about the tax liability, and surveys show the Trump proposal has touched a nerve. Social Security recipients must calculate their income, adding in half of their benefits. If that total income exceeds $25,000 ($32,000 for married couples filing jointly), up to half of benefits are taxed. If it exceeds $34,000 ($44,000 for married couples), up to 85% of benefits are taxed. That system can create high marginal tax rates for working Social Security recipients because they simultaneously face regular taxes and taxes on more of their benefits as income goes up.
Income taxes on benefits now make up about 4% of Social Security’s revenue, and repealing the tax would hasten the day when the program can’t pay full benefits. Congress raised the tax in 1993 and directed that money to Medicare. Lawmakers intentionally set income thresholds for the tax without inflation adjustments, and it affects more people over time. Beneficiaries who pay the tax generally have wage or investment income beyond Social Security. […]

Controlling Protein Is One of the Globalists’ Primary Goals
Between the globalists, corporate interests, and our own government, the food supply is being targeted from multiple angles. It isn’t just silly regulations and misguided subsidies driving natural foods away. Bird flu, sabotaged food processing plants, mysterious deaths of entire cattle herds, arson attacks, and an incessant push to make climate change the primary consideration for all things are combining for a perfect storm to exacerbate the ongoing food crisis.
The primary target is protein. Specifically, they’re going after beef as the environmental boogeyman. They want us eating vegetable-based proteins, lab-grown meat, or even bugs instead of anything that walked the pastures of America. This is why we launched a long-term storage prepper beef company that provides high-quality food that’s shelf-stable for up to 25-years.
At Prepper All-Naturals, we believe Americans should be eating real food today and into the future regardless of what the powers-that-be demand of us. We will never use lab-grown beef.
