A Modest Proposal to make the "Payroll Tax Holiday" even BETTER!

[bvar22]

3. I'm surprised this Modest Proposal generated so little "discussion".

It is an open invitation to those who support the Democratic Party Leadership's direction
on this issue that is so important to the Working Class, The Elderly, and those lucky enough to become elderly,
and a cornerstone of the modern Democratic Party.

Hopefully, framing it this way has caused some distress and internal conflicts.

If you favor a series of progressively larger cuts to the independent mechanism that funds Social Security,
why not just do away with it all together?

Remember, a year ago the first "Payroll Tax Holiday" was marketed as a "one time only temporary stimulus".
At THAT time, those of us who were paying attention laughed at the idea that President Obama and the Centrist Party leadership
were going to "raise taxes" in an election year when the one time only "holiday" expired.
Our predictions were 100% correct.



If replacing shortfalls due to the cut in FICA Contributions with cash from the General Fund is A-OK,
then WHY have a separate system at all?



You will know them by their WORKS,
not by their excuses.
