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

[bvar22]

14. I will concede your point about Medicare and the current Payroll Tax "Holiday",

...but you still haven't addressed my primary concern:
WHY was Social Security directly linked to the General Fund and The Deficit
when it would have been much easier and straightforward to simply send everyone a check from the General Fund?

This linking is unprecedented,
and, despite the refrains from the choir,
does INDEED make Social Security weaker.

Do you really foresee a point where President Obama and the "Centrist" Party Leadership will reverse their course
and say, "Well, we have all had our little holiday,
but NOW it is time to Raise Taxes on the Working Class".

NEVER GONNA HAPPEN.
Social Security WILL be drawing funds from General Revenue,
and that item on the RED side of the Budget Sheet WILL make it much easier to KILL Social Security in the very near future.
No longer can we truthfully say,
"Social Security is completely separate from The Deficit" and Pays for Itself entirely through FICA Contributions.
THAT is what has made it a bullet-proof so far,
and NOW that shield is GONE!

It will be a Death by a Thousand Cuts, initiated and championed by the Centrist Democratic Party Leadership,
but the Coup de Gras "Privatization" will come when Republicans take over the White House in 2016.

The creators of Social security insisted on a completely separate and independent funding mechanism For a Reason.






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