The money you put into these plans are "forced savings" for you so you have some income after you retire. The amounts deducted are percentages based on how much you are paid.

As stated below .... These are payments to you, from YOUR SAVINGS ACCOUNT that you paid into each pay you received.

I doubt this will move forward with the current SCOTUS but it sure is setting good precedent along its way there.

The US Constitution states:

Representatives shall be apportioned among the several States according to their respective numbers, counting the whole number of persons in each State.

Residents can also call!! Undocumented persons can call too as they are persons who are counted.

Alaska lawmakers advance resolution defending Canada and opposing trade restrictions β€’ Alaska Beacon A pending legislative resolution that β€œhonors Alaska's alliance with Canada" spells out reasons that tariffs would harm Alaska.

Did you know resolutions are not laws or regulations, and they do not set policy. Rather, they express lawmakers’ sentiments, with the intention of influencing policies.

This is Alaska telling Trump they do NOT want his Tarrifs.
