What's another $4 billion when the Administration has already put us another $1.6 Trillion in Debt?
And now Dubya want to use our SS taxes to prop up the DJIA?
Why should I worry about slitting my wrists when the leeches have already sucked my blood dry?
If I were Prez.; I'd shut down 90% of the Federal GOVERNMENT.
The only remaining arm would be the UNITED STATES MILITARY.
Further, I'd cut pay to every Congressman and Senator to $ONE DOLLAR per TERM!
BTW, this TAX is still referred to as FICA. "Federal Insurance Contribution Act." To me and my wife, we will never see damn near $300k that has ben confiscated from our family. All in the name of "fairness" for the downtrodden. bunch of leeches that some describe.
I guess Karen and I are leeches too.
To liberals, this is acceptable behavior. Because the "wealthy" worked 70 years to build up a nest egg.
SS just screwed us out of our LABOR. Not to mention the Federal, State, Local taxes, Airport fees, cell phone fees, motel/hotel fees, the list never ends. And people pay no flippin' attention.
Some folks go down the road and are totally clueless.
I manage a large organization, and I see millions of dollars in hidden expenses paid in taxes. Texaco's income tax return was over 1,000 pages. Over 100 accountnats and clerks preparing a tax return to your friend, The Federal Government.
Rewind one hundred years ago. There were no Federal Income Taxes.
Some folks should go to school or the library and read a history lesson.
