The thing I hate worst about SS is that it is nothing but a tax on work, on on the people who pay people to work. Whenever we tax something, we get less of it.
What helped bankrupt the system was the "welfare" part of it. If people properly and rightfully needed money for disability, widowhood, etc., why wasn't that also the burden of all taxable income, why did the money come solely from a tax on work?
