Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., is considering a major tax hike on the rich to shore up the nation's Social Security system.

"If we kept the payroll tax rate exactly the same but applied it to all earnings and not just the first $97,000," Obama wrote this week in an Iowa newspaper, "we could eliminate the entire Social Security shortfall."

There would be no problem now if politicians didn't spend the social security money on everything else.

Additional taxing will just create another pile of money that will make the Dems mouths water for even more new spending.

I agree..........stop spending the SS money, pay back what has been borrowed and never borrow it again and SS should be just fine.
