There is a cap on paying the megar weekly tax on social security the government witholds from our weekly paycheck. The cap is $1,080.00 (or there about) a year So the poor and a great deal of the middle class pay for the whole year and some pay for 3 months the few who can afford the payment would not miss the $ and it would put a great deal of funds into Social Security. Which ,by the way was supporting this country for a long time when we were flush with $ and the witheld SS$ was put into the general fund

General Information: If you or a family member has lost employment, the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) may make it possible for you to keep your employment-related health coverage....This expired when President Obama signed the new Health Care Legislation. My question is why is this not necessary anymore when unemployment continues to be high. This leaves the unemployed without a safety net since the government was paying 65% of the COBRA premium. COBRA premiums can be $500+ for a single person and in the thousands for a family that is unemployed. How did this happen? We keep talking about helping the unemployed and how Americans all need health care but the people who are unemployed through no fault of theirs find that health insurance is out of reach. We continue to assist countries overseas sending them billions but the American taxpayer is left behind. Sad...

Disabled veterans who have their student loans discharged due to disabilty are currenlty charged income tax on that loan discharge. Disabled veterans should not have to pay income tax on their discharged student loans when that discharge is because of their service connected disabilty.

Health Insurance companies can help people become healthier by supporting their member's through payment's to health club memberships that are provided by trained people by way of: Diet, Exercise and Education. All Insurance policies (not just the high end ones) should have this as part of their benefits and it could be ongoing.

While the Congress passes no bills, saves no money and talks about tax cuts in programs that help American citizens, they are doing NOTHING to cut waste, fraud, and mismanagement in government agencies. In many cases, they are protecting their power base. In many cases, they form oversight committees who have no real power to enforce the rules they are supposed to oversee. THIS HAS TO STOP!

After seeing a news story today about law makers who lease very expensive automobiles at tax payer expence, I believe we need to be heard. I believe that they should leases out of their bloated salaries. I also believe they should have medicare as their health insurance. It should be set up with the same quide lines as our medicare.

Congress passes bills that have so many riders and add ons that congressman and women don't even read them. Even if they like the main law they may vote against it because of something that has been added on.If they voted on one thing at time voters will know how they REALLY stand on issues.

The problem with our political system is that the elected officials view it as a life-time endeavor. Party affiliation does not matter, both parties take advantage of the taxpaying public. Term Limits would prevent not only their attitude toward voters but since they would know they would rejoin the public, their voting record would be more directed to taxpayers. This should affect pensions, their paying taxes including Social Security as well.

This petition asks the federal government to stand firm on employment rules that assure unions of jobs on federal projects

Walgreen's has teamed up with Donald Trump and The Celebrity Apprentice to promote more healthy steps in 2012. Yes, the same Donald Trump who falsely accused the president on numerous occassions of made-up issues such as Obama not being a citizen of the United States (birther issue), Obama not qualified to get into an Ivy League school, and Obama starting a war with Iran to win re-election. Is this the image Walgreen's wants to promote? Is this a company you want to do business with?
