When the idea is floated to reduce the Social Security contribution rate just shrug your shoulders, ignore them, scream at them, whatever. Say whatever. Tell them to get lost.
Why did Republicans not accuse whoever first floated this idea, even if it was GW Bush, in wild angry interviews on the news, of wanting to cut off funding for Social Security benefits ? Was that so hard to figure out and do ?
As long as Social Security benefits are paid, the money's gotta come from somewhere.
Government is not responsible enough by it's nature to run a retirement program. It's not truly "protecting" anyone or "providing" for anyone's retirement.
You’re asking the ‘pubs to man up, and that goes against their basic nature...
most morons don’t realize this will lead to a reduction in benefits when they retire .......
benefits are calculated based on total FICA paid in....
“We’re talking about Social Security contributions - remember how it’s getting around the point where current contributions can’t pay for current payments to people receiving benefits ? How is it smart to cut off the contributions from payroll withholdings that fund it ?”
THIS is NOT getting sufficient attention. It needs to go VIRAL!!!!
While all these arguments about suspending SS contributions (HAH!) are raging, the SSA has INCREASED my SS retirement benefits while at the same time DECREASING my Medicare (Pt. B) premiums!
Contact your congress critter....TODAY!
Leave Social Security $$$ alone!!!!!
Also keep in mind that a cut in Social Security payroll tax will not show up on Obama’s deficit as it is a separate account, hence the reason the Democrats are for it.
Republicans should be SCREAMING to the public that Democrats are DEFUNDING Social Security and throwing granny and grandpa off the cliff!
Thanks for this thought-provoking article. I have it bookmarked.
Stop borrowing from Social Security says this old USA Today article.
Ok, we'll borrow the SS money directly from the workers! says Obama's Rat Party (formerly the traditional, patriotic Democratic Party). We won't say anything about it says Obama's SCUM.
I think it was Democrat LBJ who started raiding the SS funds for his "Great" Society that cost citizens trillions of dollars and filled the SS funds with IOUs.
