Only a liberal mooch would advocate means testing of Social Security.
___________________________________________________________

Since you are personally involved, those that disagree with you are liberals and mooches! I’ve paid into SS my whole life as well. For regular folks who don’t have income above the cap, our “contribution” when the employers payments are included is what 15.3%? It’s high. And it’s just a tax, like the sales tax and income tax we pay since there is no trust fund with assets. You act like you are paying the tax and I’m not. I’m telling you that our governments debt is going to crash the whole system. Do you care? And why should poor people be taxed to pay benefits to rich people? Poor and rich all pay taxes. They’ve labeled the benefit an “entitlement” and you’ve believed them apparently.

There would be no more sure, instantaneous way of bringing about the collapse of the American economy than means testing Social Security.

You are on the wrong form. Go to DU where people of like mind will play with you.

Its not a government benefit. You choose to ignore that it is our money to begin with.

You want to eliminate SS, fine. But, means test it so only mooches can collect - That's Obama's position.
