it won’t.

to be fair, a lot of people who got UI were first timers and honestly, they shouldn’t even give you the option of not withholding taxes in the first place.

states were overwhelmed and a lot of people couldn’t even get through and barely got any type of assistance. People went without money coming in and wasn’t thinking about withholding. They just wanted to pay their bills.

:manny:

she would’ve gone from getting

federal = $2600 refund
State = owing $1900


To


Federal = $8800
State = $2700


I told her she would eventually have to file an amended return and pay that shyt back. She understood what was going on.


If I didn’t do it for her, someone else would have. I got $600 for 10 minutes of work and will get paid again, when I do the amended return. :blessed:

Biden just doesn't want minimum wage passed. It was a talking point to get elected. Joe has been in office 40+ years.


The apologism is particularly absurd because unlike his predecessor Barack Obama, who was a relative newcomer to politics, Biden’s major selling point was that he knows “how to make government work”. The guy explicitly pitched himself as the best Democratic presidential candidate by suggesting that in an era of gridlock, he knows how to make the Democratic agenda a reality and Get Things Done™, like master of the Senate Lyndon Baines Johnson.

That’s where LBJ himself comes in to destroy the narrative that Democratic presidents in general – and Biden specifically – are inherently helpless.

‘Lyndon told me to’
In 1964, Johnson was trying to pass Medicare, but two conservative Democratic senators threatened to take down the entire legislation over a tax issue. In a story flagged by economist Stephanie Kelton, the New York Times noted that months before that legislation passed: “Opponents proposed a large and popular increase in Social Security benefits (and taxes) which would have made passage of new Medicare taxes almost impossible. At the last minute, Senators George Smathers of Florida and Russell Long of Louisiana, both Democrats but Medicare opponents, switched and voted to save Medicare. ‘Lyndon told me to,’ Senator Smathers explained.”


...


Now we see this same Powerless President narrative in the minimum wage fight – and if you look closely, the Biden administration is all but admitting it’s a lie.

After all, the White House continues to say it is “fighting our guts out” for Neera Tanden’s nomination, even though it might not have enough Senate votes for her confirmation. And yet, the same White House is simultaneously retreating on the minimum wage, seemingly unwilling to force a floor vote on the issue, even though presidential pressure, legislative brinkmanship, and negotiation could change the outcome.


the Tanden situation, in fact, the Biden team is acting like a White House’s power of persuasion and legislative arm twisting can potentially move votes for something a president cares about – in this case, the nomination of a Washington insider to a fancy White House job.

The real story, then, is that Biden seems unwilling to use the same influence to push as hard as possible for a minimum wage increase that would boost the pay of millions of Americans during an economic emergency.

Joe Biden says his hands are tied on a $15 minimum wage. That's not true | Joe Biden | The Guardian
