If they give in here
You mean, if they don’t force me to surrender more of my paycheck to the Social Security fraud fund?
Unlike you, that won’t disgust me, that’ll make me and my kids happy. I’ll have $1000 more for savings, instead of $1000 lifted out of my paycheck and sent into the federal government’s black hole.
If they give up on the pretense that this is "insurance" then its nothing more than welfare and it ought to be means tested and the payout age ought to be pushed back until its solvent, say to age 73 or so.
This is one of those Ponzi Schemes that people are going to go ballistic over when they "find out" its just welfare.
BTW, about half the country pays for SS but not income taxes. Yea , lets get rid of this and just crank taxes up on the "rich", thats the ticket. Wont that be great for the "economy" ?!
