Mr. PBR wants to do away with the legality of a Federal Income Tax. He also wants to end Social Security.
Without Social Security being taken from paychecks, the vast majority of Americans would spend everything and not have any retirement cushion. Mr. PBR knows SS was not intended to be your sole retirement but a supplement. Far too many Americans have it as their sole retirement income. Without that, does Mr. PBR believe we would just kick the penniless to the side of the road and let them sleep in boxes and fend off of garbage?
Mr. PBR should also go to the Social Security website to see what other things SS does for Americans besides give retirement assistance.
Before repealling a law, have a viable one ready to set into motion as soon as the one is taken away. Not just bluster that would be divisive for 4 more years.
