2) I really don't care HOW you whittled 47% down to 20%. If the argument is about "fair shares" then by definition --- half the folks pay O into General Fund and that's not a fair share.
So people who worked hard all their lives and paid taxes all their lives and now live on small fixed incomes they pay no taxes on are government leaches and people who are in college, paying no taxes, but working on degrees that will enable them to make good money and pay taxes in the future are government leaches because you "don't care HOW you whittled 47% down to 20%."
Got it.
For the record I far prefer the current system where the government takes its biggest chunk from me during the years of my life when I can best afford it and leaves me alone during the years of my life when I can't.
Yeah they take so much you can't save enough to retire so when you're old you have to be dependent on government.
That after all is the goal of the Social Security scam.
I'm having no trouble saving to retire.
Funny how the right wing can't figure out if the government taxes people too much or too little.
