C'mon...you know FICA is merely a tax on the poor and the republicans favorite tax to increase when they need to fund wars and stuff. Just as Reagan. How many times did he increase it? Two? Three? Four?
SS would be booming fifty years from now if it wasn't for Dubya stealing it's funds to pay for pet projects. Like two wars.
How 'bout we just get rid of the FICA tax and replace it with a tax on billionaires?
That's what I mean! Democrats protected FICA for decades, now, they want to throw the whole "social insurance" concept in the dumper! Interesting they've protected that for so long and now are going to do a 180 and proclaim SS a welfare program. I will enjoy the flip flops this is going to cause Democrats.
