How about ELIMINATING the income tax? There's a radical idea worth pursuing. Actually that is quite a dumb idea. How about privatizing SS, reforming Medicare, and getting rid of earmarks/pork spending? That's the real fiscal timebomb.
We disagee. My view is unless the revenue spigot is turned off, forget about addressing entitlement. It really does begin and end with income withholding the feds have utilized to extract wealth from the American people's paychecks to make them dependent upon one or another government program.
