First, Obama said no such thing. Next, SS can't possibly be "gone" because you will always have people paying into the system. The only thing that has a potential to be "gone" is the SS trust fund, which was a bad idea given to us by Reagan in the first place. Even if the SS trust fund is "gone", FICA will still cover at least 75% of SS payouts, even if all the doom-and-gloom predictions about SS come true decades from now. |

I guess your reading comprehension skills aren't all that great. Obama proposes raising the SS maximum income level, which is currently $102,000 which affects less than 5% of the population. The payroll tax rate would remain the same. And you claim to be an economic expert? I also see you didn't even address the rest of your ignorance and snipped it out. Good show. |

Yea, I'm waiting to hear how he explains to me that more money coming out of my check and going into the SS system is not a tax increase. Perhaps he should be running for office. I'm still waiting for you to explain your statement, Mr. economic expert. Here it is again: "Me too but the point is that Obama has pre-announced that the payroll tax we are paying will increase." So first you say "we" and now you say "my". So which is it? Who is this "we" you speak of? Voices inside your head? Mouse in your pocket? Or perhaps you meant the small segment of the population who would be affected? If that's the case, why didn't you specify it as such? Deception by ommission? Of course, that assumes you actually knew what the proposal actually was to begin with, which is probably a very poor assumption. |
