DOUBLE TAXATION OF SENIORS
Where is the Outrage? With a double taxation bulls eye placed squarely on the Social Security benefits of older Americans, The Association of Mature American Citizens is crying foul! AMAC the leading conservative alternative to the AARP believes this just isn't fair and is calling on all seniors to join them in it's demand that tax reformers on the Hill take a closer look at this, peculiar inequity in the law that decidedly targets older Americans. Dan Weber president of AMAC says it is "appalling" that many seniors on social security must pay income tax on their benefits and is calling on Congress to address the issue promptly. As an example, a person with a combined income of $38,000, (assuming $24,000 in Social Security income) would have half of his or her Social Security taxed. That person would fall into the 15% tax bracket resulting in $1,800 in extra tax on their Social Security income. In fact, when total combined income exceeds $44,000, 85% of the individual's Social Security gets taxed, typically resulting in an extra tax of $3,000 or more. [See Social Security publication 915 to figure your combined income]. AMAC has designated its Web site, www.amac.us, as the rallying point for its new cause and is asking "seniors and their families to visit and express their opinions and tell their own stories on this and other issues affecting them."
