30. Thankfully, the Democratic founders of the most successful Social Program EVER in the USA...

...disagree with you.
That is WHY they insisted on a completely separate funding mechanism for this
Insurance Program, and purposely chose to NOT fund it from general Tax Collections.

You may have a point in a very broad sense,
and if you wish to continue to carry water for the Conservatives or Republicans,
so be it.

I will continue to advance the traditional Democratic Party Agenda
and protect Social Security & Medicare.
Since the funds collected through FICA have a narrow, dedicated, defined use,
and general non-specified "Public Purposes" are excluded,
FICA Deductions are NOT a "Tax", but an Insurance Premium.

Good Luck.

You will know them by their WORKS,
not by their rhetoric, promises, or excuses.
