Maybe. I’m about to be out of my house for three days, so I might not be thinking clearly.

I’d be more concerned if it were worth a shit. Glad it exists at all…. Still.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

If I EVER gave anyone here the idea that I’m an adult, I apologize sincerely and profoundly.
Just try not to burn the place to the ground while I’m away.

"I’ve read that Americans with an income above 140k don’t pay into the social security fund."
Not sure if that means the same as "Don't pay any more SS taxes after $140k". Maybe you lot use different English down under? Wouldn't be the first misunderstanding.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.

[color=rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.95)] Social Security Withholding on Wages[/color]
[color=rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.95)] Wages are subject to other forms of withholding in addition to the federal income tax. The Social Security tax is withheld at a flat rate of 6.2% on gross wages after subtracting any pre-tax deductions that are exempt from Social Security taxation.[/color]
[color=rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.95)] Not all gross wages are subject to this tax. An annual wage base limit caps earnings that are subject to withholding for Social Security at $147,000 in 2022, increasing to $160,200 in 2023.4[/color]

Income over this amount isn't subject to Social Security tax or withholding.

At this point, I'm just concerned about whether or not the SSA's going to approve my own disability claim.
