When Social Security is taxable at all, you have to pay taxes on at least 50 percent of your benefits. As your income increases the percentage can reach a maximum of 85 percent of your annual benefit amount. This maximum percentage applies when your income reaches $34,000 if you file as single.
While some of that 80% is used to treat animal illnesses, the majority (90%) is administered through the animalsâ water or feed to assist the animalsâ growth and subsequent weight gain and to also preventively help the livestock survive the harsh farm and living conditions through antibiotic treatment.
The 1981 CAST report, Antibiotics in Animal Feeds, stated that, up to that point, there were only 4 instances (2 in Britain, 1 in Canada, and 1 in the United States) for which there was âevidence linking use of antibiotics in animal agriculture with diseases due to antibiotic-resistant bacteria in humansâ (p. 2), and it attributed the incidents to therapeutic rather than subtherapeutic use of antibiotics.
