@SanchoPanzy @allenanalysis Not really about us at all, it’s about how public argument works. Own your register. If you’re analyzing, say so. If you’re arguing, say so. If you’re strategizing, say so. Content survives scrutiny. Denial doesn’t

@SanchoPanzy @allenanalysis persuasive? I lay out facts, math idgaf, it's facts. follow or dont

MURRAY: Under $184k pays 12.4% Social Security tax? DAHL: Yes. MURRAY: $1M? DAHL: 2.2%. So: Workers: 12.4% Millionaires: 2.2% Billionaires: effectively near zero Same system. Different rules. We need a new Congress.

@SanchoPanzy @allenanalysis You’re assigning motives because I didn’t switch questions with you. I stayed on the effective‑rate math. You moved to a narrative about manipulation. That’s your frame, not mine

@Zetta55Byte @allenanalysis I know. I get it now. You weren't being manipulated. You were wanting to help her manipulate. Thanks for the graphic. Maybe some other people will buy into it. But they're fools if they do.

@SanchoPanzy @allenanalysis No, it’s not strategy it’s just staying on the question I was actually answering. You shifted from tax incidence to fairness and benefits. I didn’t follow because that’s a different conversation.

@Zetta55Byte @allenanalysis And you don't want to let opponents try to move you into that conversation. Because you want the conversation to stay on taxes. Because then we can say millionaires only pay 2.2% -- which makes our case better than it would if benefits entered the equation. I get you.

@SanchoPanzy @allenanalysis I’m not dodging I’m staying in the lane I started in You shifted from math to narrative I didn’t follow

@Zetta55Byte @allenanalysis Why is it a narrative? I'm only asking your opinion. But I can see why you don't want to address it. It's not because you want to avoid narrative. It's because the entire conversation looks differently when held up against benefits. You have the whole thing planned out.

@SanchoPanzy @allenanalysis Analyzing one variable at a time isn’t ‘asinine’ it’s how the field works.

@SanchoPanzy @allenanalysis Actuaries absolutely isolate variables. It’s literally how the math works.

@SanchoPanzy @allenanalysis go find a Public‑finance textbook IT WILL separate tax incidence from benefit formulas. It’s not a niche move it’s the standard way the field is taught.

@Zetta55Byte @allenanalysis Who? Which economists and policy analysts? Can you link me some who decouple taxes from benefits? If these people exist (which I doubt), then they're just as disingenuous as Patty Murray is.

@SanchoPanzy @allenanalysis The effective rate is a number Whether it’s a ‘break’ is a narrative I’m sticking to the number

@Zetta55Byte @allenanalysis No, I took a Senator to task telling people one chapter of two chapter story. Lots of people did, and should have. She was being manipulative and disingenuous. Do you think a person who earns $1m is getting a break on Social Security by only paying a 2.2% effective rate?

@SanchoPanzy @allenanalysis Premiums and insurance payouts are linked too Actuaries still analyze premiums without simultaneously analyzing every payout schedule

@SanchoPanzy @allenanalysis its standrard practrice, wth do you mean lol economists, policy analysts, actuaries... They routinely study tax incidence separately from benefit formulas.

@SanchoPanzy @allenanalysis You shifted questions

@Zetta55Byte @allenanalysis The category-shift move by....who? The moment *who* stops talking about tax incidence and starts talking about benefits? And why would you consider this a category shift? The two things are paired together. One makes no sense without the other.

@SanchoPanzy @allenanalysis The system links them, but analysis doesn’t have to Tax incidence is one question. Benefit formulas are another.

@Zetta55Byte @allenanalysis I have no problem with the math. It's perfectly explainable - and reasonable. There's a reason somebody who earns $1m pays a 2% rate. Because that corresponds to the benefits they'll earn, relative to their income. Do you not think that taxes and benefits should be linked?

@SanchoPanzy @allenanalysis Interest rates and home prices are linked too. I can still analyze interest rates without pulling up Zillow

@Zetta55Byte @allenanalysis But they are the same question. If they're linked in law, they ought to be linked in analysis....right? Why would we analyze one without the other, when they're coupled by law?

@SanchoPanzy @allenanalysis It’s not about you. It’s the label for the category‑shift move the moment someone stops talking about tax incidence and starts talking about benefits That’s all, I got references. I got the whole ass framework I already built?

@Zetta55Byte @allenanalysis So you wrote this for yourself? You didn't disseminate it to others? Who's the "someone that shifts from tax-incidence into benefits or policy"? Is that people like me?

@SanchoPanzy @allenanalysis That’s not analysis, that’s a rule YOU ARE trying to impose on the conversation because YOU do not like where the math goes on its own

@SanchoPanzy @allenanalysis Coupled in law ≠ inseparable in analysis. I’m doing the tax‑incidence side. You’re doing the benefits side. Both are valid. They’re just not the same question

@SanchoPanzy @allenanalysis Opponent’ isn’t a specific person. It’s the name of the pattern, the move where someone shifts from tax‑incidence into benefits or policy. The graphic is just the framework I use to keep those categories separate. You jumped layers, so I referenced it.

@Zetta55Byte @allenanalysis One of the graphics literally says "This is the layer your opponent keeps trying to drag you into." That's what caused me to ask the question. Who is the intended audience of the graphic -- and who is their opponent?

@SanchoPanzy @allenanalysis BROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO You’re accusing her of omitting something she wasn’t talking about. She was describing tax incidence. You’re describing benefit formulas. Those are different analyses.

@Zetta55Byte @allenanalysis Yes, "but benefits." How much somebody pays in OASI taxes is meaningless without understanding what those taxes qualify them for. So, yes, taxes shouldn't be discussed without benefits. To do so is disingenuous. We all know what she was doing there, even you.
