On Thursday, (Sen. Thomas) Massie reintroduced the Senior Citizens Tax Elimination Act, H.R. 1040, which he said would end the "unjust double tax on Social Security benefits."

"Although seniors have already paid tax on their Social Security contributions via the payroll tax, they are still required to list these benefits as taxable income on their tax returns," Massie said in a statement.

"This is simply a way for Congress to obtain more revenue for the federal government at the expense of seniors who have already paid into Social Security.'

Massie said, it's outrageous to force senior citizens to pay taxes on Social Security, when they already paid a variety of taxes during their working years to earn those retirement benefits.

Well, yeah. Pay taxes on it.

Because it's supposed to help you from being impoverished when you're old.

If you have a bunch of money, you shouldn't need it.

It's right in the name "social".
 
The maximum Social Security Administration (SSA) monthly payment in 2025 is $5,108, but most people do not receive that amount.
