In a recent Newsweek, The Last Word, column George Will wrote:

You [Obama] favor eliminating the cap on earnings subject to the 12.4 percent Social Security tax, which now covers only the first $102,000. A Chicago police officer married to a Chicago public-school teacher, each with 20 years on the job, have a household income of $147,501, so you would take another $5,642 from them. Are they undertaxed? Are they rich?

Doesn't George know that social security is not paid jointly?

It makes you wonder how much

It makes you wonder how much of that other stuff in his column is made up Republican talking point propaganda. At any rate, it's just a preview of what's coming.

George

George Will, one of the inner circle of the Beltway pundits, whose assumed wisdom knows no limits, has been wearing that stupid bow tie way too tight for too many years.
It's affected the blood flow to his brain.
And Tucker Carlson wants to be just like him.
When will we ever get rid of these beltway elitist corporate media hacks??
He's the male equivalent of Cokie Roberts.
Perhaps he should have stuck to baseball reporting?

Beats listening to him maunder on about baseball.

If Obama wins the presidency there is going to be lots of GOOOPERS screaming into their pillows.

And if he gets the nom and loses the election, somehow, it's all going to be H1LL4R7z fault!!!!!1!!one!
