I urge all republicans to leave the party, and write editorials stating exactly why.

I was wondering how many here would pick up on that.
The payroll tax pays for Social Security. So what have both the Republicans and Democrats agreed to? Reducing the financing of Social Security without changing it's benefits one iota. Hey, what the heck, if Social Security sinks even more under water we can just borrow future payments to retirees from the Chinese.
