If Trump were to mention that...the GOPe would try to strike him down. The left supports this stuff openly...and “our” side says nothing.
Even with an effective tax rate of almost 15% on income up to near $115K, the Ponzi scheme cannot keep up with the benefits.
Best way to go now is to scrap the SS Tax and fund it though the general receipts and at the same time stop paying the miserable 2% transfer interest on the “loans” for the cash which was long ago squandered. The bankrupt system will soon be insolvent so why not take the hit now? Of course no one wants to be on the hook for raising everyone’s effective income tax rate 15% but it would reduce business costs 7% at the same time making domestic businesses more competitive IMO.
