We’ve got some Manhattan folks here, right?

How does trick-or-treating work there for families with kids?

For example, the relevant law could be amended to state that, whenever revenue falls short of scheduled benefits, the Social Security payroll tax will automatically be increased to make the two sums balance. In fact, you could get even cuter with it and make it so that revenue shortfalls trigger Social Security payroll tax increases only on earnings exceeding $150,000 or similar.

No, thanks. I am already paying enough taxes. Why don’t they try coming up with something that makes the billionaires pay more than 5% or whatever they pay?

Changing the trigger in this way would not require any new taxes or really change anything at all about how the program operates in the near term. All it would do is change the default outcome of so-called “insolvency.” No longer would “insolvency” mean automatic benefit cuts. It would instead mean automatic tax increases on the rich.

No, it wouldn’t. Taxes on families making $150,000 is a just a tax on the middle class, not the rich.

A lot of the big apartment buildings do trick of treating, so you can hit up a lot of places in one stop if you don’t mind riding elevators.

I like to take my kids to some blocks nearby with townhouses that are all decorated. Those types of houses can draw big crowds. I’m sure they go through tons of candy.

To be fair, doggy gastro intestinal issues are not fun no matter what floor you’re on. My dog had a “bad night” a while back and I think it took me a week to recover. She woke me up to go outside every hour all night long.

In before “I’ve never heard of Migos”

I think I can only name two Migos songs.

I’m sure they have a bunch more famous songs.
