it's not a honey pot. disconnect inputs from outputs and it changes the very nature of the program.
it's intended to insure MIDDLE CLASS PEOPLE. keep it a middle class program.
soak the rich on their income tax.

if you think it is under siege now, start making some people put in more than they get out and see how far you get.

this was bernie's worst idea. he lost. twice. so should his ideas.
