A Modest Proposal to make the "Payroll Tax Holiday" even BETTER! [View all]

[bvar22]

Lets just KILL the whole damned "Payroll Tax" thing.
Just do away with if Once and For ALL!
Lets take a BIG step, instead of all these small incremental little steps.
First, a one year holiday,
then an Extension of the one year holiday,
then another reduction on the Employer side of the FICA contributions,
...HELL, everybody can see where all this incrementalism is heading.
The DIRECTION and ultimate GOAL couldn't be more clear.
So lets Just Do IT!

I've listened to our Democratic Party Leadership campaign for extending this "Holiday",
and read all the justifications for it on DU.

Apparently there is absolutely NO Problem What-So-Ever with covering shortfalls in Social Security funding with
cash taken from the General Fund, so WHY do we NEED FICA Deductions at all?
We can do away with the "Payroll Taxes" all together,
and simply fund the Social Security entitlements directly from the General Fund!!!

THAT would make Government smaller,
reduce the accounting workload for employers,
...and just THINK of the wonderful, everlasting Stimulus!

The creators of the most successful Social Program EVER in the United States
and one that was running a SURPLUS had NO IDEA What They Were Doing
when they insisted on a funding mechanism that was entirely separate and distinct from the General Fund.
What WERE they THINKING???


So, really, Lets stop fooling around and Go ALL the WAY!

You will know them by their WORKS,
and determine direction from the increments.
