I'm self-employed. As both my employer and my employee I pay both halves of my social security tax. This is actually a premium payment into the governments mandatory retirement program. You do not cut the premium payment on someone simply because they pay no other "tax" that can be cut. I don't get it? the people that pay no federal tax are wanting a tax cut? Who's taking the dummy pills? Isn't true the Social Security system is in peril? Cutting the premiums can only imperil it further. Of course the Dems want SS to fail so the Gov. can then step in and save the people. The ol' create a crisis then be the savior ploy.

Look, all I'm saying is that it's a slap in the face for folks who receive social security checks to have their money taxed yet again! It's not only STUPID, but an idiotic stupid political move.
