So @realDonaldTrump did confirm today that his words did mean that he wants to eliminate the #PayrollTax altogether. I pushed back on that being what he said because it wasn& #39;t within the context of what the EO or his advisors said. But clearly he wants to eliminate it

Now, he doesn& #39;t have the ability to eliminate it by himself. He would need Congress to act on it as well and that is highly unlikely to happen. He also needs Congress to waive the deferred payroll taxes as well.

But while I am not sorry for wanting to be certain before reporting that he wants to eliminate the #PayrollTax altogether, the reporting of it was correct so I will say that I did interpret his words incorrectly and apologize to those who I pushed back against.

I have copied and pasted the link to the main post in this thread and shared it with the people who I sparred with about this. If I sparred with you about this as well and neglected to reach out to you, I apologize for that as well.
