My first response to this is that social security is, has or will be in trouble because the "fat cats"in Congress can't keep their bloody hands off our money.
Secondly the social security fix is a political ploy crisis that make presidential candidates look serious but they have no idea what they are talking about.

For instance Christy's monetary cuts offs what do they mean? Just because a person is making $80,000 that doesn't mean their flush. what are their necessary living costs, health care costs. Does that person have a disability issue playing heavily on the family budget.

One poster said I would pay my fair share but he/she did when his/her pay check included a deduction for social security takes.

This social security issue is a classic example of class warfare that politicians love to play. S/he is making too much and doesn't need more. I beg your pardon you told me life was a not a rose garden and I took you seriously and I invested heavily, saved , worked and built myself a secure future and in all that time you never once said well we know you are going to be successful so will stop deducting your social security..........

Look its one thing to complain about someone double dipping but a person who paid into social security isn't that guy, and utilizing an arbitrary amount as a cut off can hurt a lot of people who have legitimate expenses that cut deep into their life savings.

So on this issue I am on the side of the people and I hold pols in disdain for for covering up their mismanagement of this program.
