Poor Andy;
First off, no Republican here. many of us have grown up to the point where we don't need a "party teat" to nurse upon.
You simply must begin to understand what these tax breaks you're demanding are, exactly. "Payroll taxes" are not just another added tax, in fact to call them a tax, is disingenuous . The primary "payroll tax" is the employee's contribution to Social Security.
Now let's do some deductive reasoning Andy... Social Security is about broke; is it likely that witholding it's normal supporting funds for a year will make it more solvent ? These contributions have been skipped for a year already, will the SS fund be helped greatly by further witholding of contributions ?
Do you know anybody who relies upon their Social Security check, mom, Dad, Gramps or a neighbor ?
...The Social Security system desperately needs an overhaul or replacement, but giving a "contribution holiday" for 2 years, while borrowing money from China to fill the gap, sure doesn't smack of sound economic practice !
But then, our economy and world standing politically, has only deteriorated at an exponential rate..since the 'chosen one' has spent time in the oval office..(whenever he's not on vacation, that is)
