Well of course the system is broken and you have pointed
out exactly why. Things will not get better unless some
serious reform is enacted. A flat tax, or a national sales
tax would be an excellent start.
The government, by making employers do all their dirty work, has done
an excellent job of fleecing their own people, and keeping it a secret.
As long as the vast majority of citizens are completely unaware of the
magnitude of their taxation (and, believe me, they are), nothing will
change.
But first we need to tax the crap out of everyone to pay off the
national debt which could have been done a few years ago without the
taxes. THEN we can move forward without leaving a huge load for those
that come after us....maybe I should have rephrased that last from
"that come after us" to "our childern and their children".
I'm retired and receiving SS. You guys just keep workin' and keep
those checks a commin'. :-))
