If you are looking to get responses to your posts, you're doing a great job of insulting people who find the large portions to be too large for one person. Many people, including me, don't care for eating food reheated 1-3 days later. It isn't a money decision and if the restaurant's help are being mistreated, the owner should prohibit splitting meals.

Change is hard, and especially hard as we gain more years of experience doing things one way. Social Security is likely a victim of almost 90 years of bureaucracy and an update would be welcomed by many. Taking care of the most needy should be the target without making more people needy.

Most of the discounts seem to be for new business, not for loyal customers that have omitted the yearly rate shopping that helps control costs. I am retired from a property and casualty company and am aware that longevity has nothing to do with claims payment.

Yes and the same was said when Obama took office including awards given during the first days of his presidency. It has happened before and will happen again- to both sides of the aisle. You are also welcome to pay more to the IRS if you feel so inclined. Best to you.

Fidelity is a for-profit company and has to satisfy the needs of the family that owns Fidelity. This should not be surprising.

This is mostly Americans investing in America by way of IOUs. The problem will occur when we stop wanting to invest in our own country. We can complain all we want, but we continue to elect politicians that kick the can down the road.

I have been insured with United Health Care for over 40 years including 8 years in the AARP Medicare Advantage plan with no denials for medical services. The article you linked is obviously written with bias when you read the last paragraph. I volunteer for AARP in tax prep but I am not a fan of their using companies to increase their income. No one is required to insure with UHC as well as not buy from WalMart but both seem to be a target these days. Success has a way of doing that.

You're correct, not 85% tax but 85% of SS taxed.
