[Always Right]

Possibly you're saying you'd rather see the S/S entitlement continue as it is to the point when is finally has one wage earner supporting 4 or 6 or ... people receiving the entitlements???

I would rather see it phased out of existance. Creating a way to hide its true costs in the sales tax is a huge step backwards. The only positive thing is that the sales tax taxes the social security benefits when they are spent, effectively reducing them. I hardly think the elderly will see that as an advantage though.

That's a spending objection. We're talking here about a revenue bill, not spending. How would you propose to keep funding S/S under the present system since it's legally required???
