We listened all those years ago when Congress told us the money we were paying in to Social Security was being “kept” in a trust; then to Al Gore when he told us it was going in to a “lockbox”. We later learned that Congress had SPENT the money we’d paid in to Social Security and other taxes; spent it to . . buy votes . . I suppose. Of course, they’d spent it to pay other old folk’s Social Security; I guess in a sort of Ponzi scheme. Now, I’m supposed to “trust” their deals?
Liberals still think the 'lockbox' is still there...
Explain to them that the Øbama tax cut to the 'payroll tax' cut their contribution money to their SS fund by 23% and you can hear veins popping in their heads.
The Payroll tax is the only money that goes into their 'lockbox'... and he slashed it. (say/write it and walk away...you won't hear a peep from them..they'll be dazed.)
