I’m sure that in the extended time leading up to the primaries for our politicians, most Utahns saw the advertisements telling us how many billions of dollars in tax cuts the incumbents had given us.
I have to ask myself: “If that is the case, then why is Utah one of only eight states that still tax Social Security?”
So who are those tax cuts really going to? Could it be to the people and businesses contributing to their political campaigns?
It’s time for a change. To the politicians and the Social Security tax.
