Is it not ironical that our beloved government has decided to tax our ss benefits, if certain criteria is met. SS in my mind is actual a tax placed on ordinary income that all receipents have work hard to obtain during their productive years. It just doesn't seem correct to tax SS benefits. Does any one know what person or persons are responsible for this taxation on SS. Not ready for retirement yet, but like to keep informed of the problems, suggestion about retiree's and their questions. Have a great day- Butch
