The identical argument can be, and is, made - in regards to any tax cut of any type ever.

I am for an elimination of payroll taxes entirely. They are paid by working people. The money isn’t treated any differently so why the pretense that it is? Social Security is the most regressive tax out there and it should be eliminated.

Sooner or later we will come to the point where the checks will no longer go out. Payroll taxes cannot be increased enough to cover the shortfall when the boomers all retire.

The sooner we eliminate Social Security as it exists the better.

I am philosophically for tax cuts.

The message to working people if Republicans are ideologically in favor of tax cuts, but not for working people, is not one conducive to electoral success.

No, it can't. There are obvious and fundamental differences between this tax cut and others.

Go argue with some other kid.
