I hope Bushie does not do anything!

Social Security is self-funding so if it can pay 73% benefits in 2042 do it. That is what a normal Pension Plan would do. That would be better for every one new higher tax or benefit cuts.

If the US government put in a National sales tax that hurt people on Social Security harder than most. So why not just pay the 73%.

Worst of all is the fact that a Low Interest Savings Account in a Bank would give you a lot more money than Social Security does. And I hate to think how much more you would have gotten if the money had be put in stocks.

Look at the new taxes Bushie is thinking about.

[QUOTE] “Why even bother looking at the payroll tax? That was a solution in the 1940s and the 1950s,” he said, when the rate was 2 percent of income.

“Now that it’s 12 percent, we actually are dealing with a job-killer. The higher the payroll tax, the fewer people are hired. ... Let’s find revenue that doesn’t continue to kill jobs but also meets our needs,” said Thomas, chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee.

National sales tax Thomas mentioned the valued added tax, a kind of consumption tax. It is, in effect, a sales tax imposed at each level of production of goods and services.

“I don’t think anything should be above being looked at,” Thomas said.

He noted that other countries have taxes that are added to U.S. exports, but then subtract such taxes from their goods sent abroad.

“The United States is the world’s largest importer and the world’s largest exporter, and our tax system is out of sync with the rest of the world. We pay their social costs; they don’t pay ours. That at least needs to be examined,” Thomas said.[/QUOTE]

No, just the opposite. As strange as it may seem, Sen. Joe Biden is making an issue out of it. He's attacking Bush for wanting to give blacks higher monthly SS payments since they don't live as long as whites.

I'm convinced that if Bush advocates something, its bad for white people.

I know things are crazy when I find myself on the side of a democrat!
