Solvency?

Democrats?

It's possible. Raise the payroll tax rate to about 47% and the solvency issue will go away. And they would do it if they could.

Add in 22% federal and 9% state taxes and we get 78% tax rate on your earnings. So the government takes 4/5ths of your earnings. So what? Vibrancy does not come without a price!
