A) NOT ONE GOP every suggested to force everyone to Privatize SS!
B) ALL GOP plans were to RAISE the age from 65 to 67!


By the way... ARE YOU AWARE that when you RAISE the SS tax that YOUR employer will have to pay MORE? And if employers PAY MORE that means THAT will be less likely to hire!

I bet YOU are one of the millions that don't know YOUR employer pays MORE then you pay for YOUR social security?
You pay 4.2% YOUR employer 6.2% !
You think your employer WANTS to pay MORE???

Its also time for thieving bureaucrats to immediately spend social security recepts, then issue bonds they have to pay interest on to cover future beneficiaries.............Those crafty civil servants lol

We should, pay more, wait longer....................What fuc*ing illiterate asshole wouldnt agree

"Go to the ant, you sluggard; consider its ways and be wise! It has no commander, no overseer or ruler, yet it stores its provisions in summer and gathers its food at harvest. How long will you lie there, you sluggard? When will you get up from your sleep? A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest- and poverty will come on you like a bandit and scarcity like an armed man." - God

Finally a sensible proposal.

A tax increase (one of many to come) on people and businesses in addition to more sprawling government bureaucracy in the form of controls and restrictions. Gosh, it seems so easy I wonder why no one's thought of it before?

Do you realize that this differential exists only because of the "temporary" tax reduction sponsored by the Dems? (A really brilliant idea in light of SS impending insolvency.)

You know the people on the Left scream that the "evil rich" aren't paying their "fair share" but if you notice the solutions they present ALWAYS result in squeezing the people they claim to want to help.

"This program is failing? Then pay us MORE of your money and we'll fix it!"

What a sick joke.

No, the solution is very simple. Raise the retirement age to at least 70. We are living longer, we should be working longer. Common sense.

Pay into the system five years longer, and draw out five years less. That alone will nearly balance the budget.

6 percent of the US population was over 65 when Social Security was enacted, 13 percent are over 65 today. We have literally more than doubled the load on the Treasury.

Life expectancy was 62 when Social Security was enacted. That's why it was called INSURANCE. It was not an entitlement.

Life expectancy is 78 today.

Social Security should be indexed to either a percentage of the population or to life expectancy.

Enough with the name calling; what is your solution? Instead of raising income tax rates on the "rich" we should eliminate the cap on SS taxes that give high ($110k+) earners and their employers a huge tax break. Even if we have to create another tier to the existing 60-30-15 percent benefit formula, net revenue would still be way up. Plus, any increased benefits at this level would be subject to income taxes.
