Fix it the Republican, conservative way. Cut Social Security taxes. Cutting taxes raises revenue, right? I don’t understand why no GOP Presidential candidate is proposing this. It’s the only way to fix Social Security.
It is just a tax. Like all the other taxes we pay. It is not a fund that anyone pays into. In the minds of the FDR addled generations that grew up on it when the tax paid more into the federal coffers than it took out. It didn’t matter that it wasn’t a retirement pool. That it was just another way to sap billions of dollars from the people and pay for All government spending. Sure, they didn’t care because they knew it wouldnt matter for them when the bill came due. Now the bill is coming due and the boomers are using their considerable political might to make sure the bill gets handed off to the next generation. Their retirement will cost more than all the revenues coming in can pay for when you take in all other required spending like defense and entitlements.
