well, the real answer to Medicare and Social Security is one that no one wants to hear...INDEXING....

iows......phase out benefits for those who don't need them....or those that have ample pension money from their companies or civil service job......

the other fix would be to eliminate the cap on how much money you can earn before SS taxes stop.....I'd like to see the zillionaires pay that 8% on all their income....bet the limosine rich would become conservatives really, really fast...

Your solution is simply a transfer of wealth from citizens you deem too rich to those whom you don't. Take from those who saved and earned and give to those who didn't.

Societies that punish success and reward the lack of it will tend to get more of the latter.
