Trump talks about a payroll tax cut. What about people on Social Security?

Update:

Food and medical costs as compared to SS inflation adjustments has caused recipients to fall behind year after year. 

Update 2:

Then, the IRS counts 85% of the benefit as taxable income. WTF?

    A payroll tax cut is under consideration for the current pandemic and is likely to be limited for a year or less.  LOL  May happen, may not.  LOL

    If you earn a certain amount when you retire, half of your Social Security income is taxed. So, yes, most retired people still pay taxes on SS.
