I was one who worked my way through college, waitressing, science lab and crop protection scout. I’m grateful for that. I graduated in β€˜78.

NYT says the fee is per visa

Is this fee per worker per year?

A worker making $50,000 a year contributes to Social Security on 100% of their income.

A CEO making $20 million a year contributes to Social Security on less than 1% of their income.

Instead of raising the retirement age, we should scrap the Social Security tax cap.

Hiked to Lake Solitude in Utah. For a flat lander the elevation , about 8000 ft, was tough, but it was a good walk.

It's not normal for an American president to send troops to American cities in times of peace.

Chicago, document what you see and be loud for America.
