Bingo!!!
And why should the wealthy, who already pay the majority of taxes to the government have to be responsible for the retirement of the rest of us?
Social Security taxes should have been deducted from our salaries when we were working. That money should have been invested and grown to where we would be able to collect it through our final years. Instead, congress has "borrowed" from that fund and now they want citizens to anti up more to replace that money. Replace the trillions that have been "borrowed", pass a law that doesn't allow money to be borrowed from the fund ever again and we'll all be fine.
Think of all the pork barrel spending that this government has done over the last hundred years. That is money wasted in order to reassure the re-election of incumbent members of congress. if you want to know why SS is going broke, it's because someone had to pay to make your congressmen and senators look good. That is what bringing home the bacon is all about. They steal from you and then give it back claiming that they are doing good for your state.
