NEED A TRUCK? NEED A TRUCK? Sotomayor disagreed in a dissenting opinion, which Ginsburg joined. She said that, based on the evidence, a reasonable observer would conclude that the proclamation was motivated by anti-Muslim animus. “Ultimately, what began as a policy explicitly ‘calling for a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States’ has since morphed into a ‘Proclamation’ putatively based on national-security concerns,” she said. “But this new window dressing cannot conceal an unassailable fact: the words of the President and his advisers create the strong perception that the Proclamation is contaminated by impermissible discriminatory animus against Islam and its followers.” Roberts, however, said reviewing the proclamation and Trump’s com- ments under a “reasonable observer” standard is problematic. He said the court instead has to apply a rational basis for review, which considers whether the entry policy is plausibly related to the government’s stated objective to protect the country and improve vetting processes. “Because there is persuasive evidence that the entry suspension has a legitimate grounding in national security concerns, quite apart from any UHOLJLRXVKRVWLOLW\ZHPXVWDFFHSWWKDWLQGHSHQGHQWMXVWLÀFDWLRQµKHVDLG 7KHEDQZDVGUDIWHGDIWHUWKHÀUVWRUGHU7UXPSLVVXHGZDVEORFNHG by lower courts and his second ban expired before reaching the Supreme Court last term.

This is known as the “payroll tax,” but might be listed on your pay stub as FICA taxes, or may even be broken down into Social Security (OASDI) and Medicare components. Here’s a quick guide to the Unit- ed States payroll tax in 2018 — how much it is, what it covers, and why it could change in the coming years. Social Security payroll tax The Social Security payroll tax rate is currently 6.2 percent each for employees and their employers. In other words, if you earn $100,000 this year, you’ll pay $6,200 and so will your employer. If you’re curious, the Social Security payroll tax can be broken down further into two parts. There’s a 5.015 percent tax that supports the OASI (Old Age and Survivors Insurance) program, which covers EHQHÀWVSDLGWRUHWLUHHVVSRXVHVRI retired workers, and survivors of retired workers. The other 1.185 percent tax is for the DI (Disability Insurance) program, which pays imposed on earned income, such as Medicare taxes are only used to individual, you are considered to be consulting work, only $28,400 of EHQHÀWVWRGLVDEOHGZRUNHUV from a job or a business you active- support Medicare Part A, or Hospi- both the employee and employer, your consulting income will be tax- Note that the Supplemental Se- ly run.

How much will I get fr om Social Security if I make $100,000?

How is Social Security calculated? I recently wrote a thorough explanation RIWKH6RFLDO6HFXULW\EHQHÀWVIRUPXODEXW here’s the short version. The Social Security Administration (SSA) keeps a record of your earnings from every year of your working lifetime, up to the an- nual taxable earnings cap. When calculating \RXUEHQHÀWWKHVHDQQXDOHDUQLQJVÀJXUHVDUH DOOLQGH[HGIRULQÁDWLRQDQGWKHKLJKHVW years are averaged together. This average is divided by 12 to determine your average indexed monthly earnings, or AIME. If you don’t have 35 years of Social Security-cov- ered earnings, zeros will be used in determin- ing the average for the missing years. Once your AIME has been calculated, it’s applied to a formula to determine your primary insurance amount (PIA), or your 6RFLDO6HFXULW\EHQHÀWLI\RXFODLPDW\RXU of your earnings, there’s no way of knowing $100,000 earner would be entitled to if they How could this change full retirement age.

They are ahead of us as I haven’t seen or heard of pop-up hotels in the U.S. As a travel writer, I have experienced Switzerland three times but at hotels and inns. The thought of a pop-up hotel is amazing to be able to set-up a hotel room almost everywhere! This will be different from any overnight I have ever seen around the world only available until September. Each pop-up is unique in cities you get a hotel room without the hotel.
