And personally, I'd like to see them add means testing to those who remain on the plan.

You get means tested everytime you send in your 1040A or whatever.

Disability is further tested every 3 years. The VA has even more in the way of means testing.

Therefore, I would say that it is being done already, although more can be done perhaps.

my simple stab at fairness is that you collect every penny you paid into SS TAX FREE but after that, since its all gravy, you pay income taxes on it where it would apply....

Is that too much to ask?

Be careful Annie, I was branded Heretic for saying that about a month ago.

Now that Greenspan is reiterating a good deal of the points I made, I wonder where the attackers went....
