Where is the AARP on this issue with regard to Social Security?
When the FICA TAX IS doubled with not maximum for employees and employers, may be the people will see the impact of all of the illegal immigration?
The same goes for the MEDICARE tax withheld from the paycheck.
There is no free ride for illegal aliens!
AARP is some sort of weird acronym for real old Democrats.
If illegals were not part of the equation, the social security obligations to pay versus revenue collected would be even in 2018. Taking the max limit off will extend the break even year to 2024. The problem boils down to the high income earning/high FICA tax paying "boomers" transitioning to consumers of social security. Add the illegals into the mix and you greatly increase the number of consumers while only replacing a fraction of the contributors due to low earning power of unskilled illegal alien labor.
Illegals will accelerate the inevitable train wreck that is coming with the retirement of the boomers. The break even dates will happen sooner if illegals are given access to social security. Doubling FICA rates won't fix it either. There aren't enough high income earners available to replace the revenue. The inevitable consequence is collapse of social security into total insolvency. Plan accordingly.
