2. Holy Mother of God...I checked my sister and my mother's numbers...

Sister: 32,000 with congress: she pockets $992, without Congress acting she owes: $640. <----WTF?!
My mum: 60,000 with Congress: she pockets $1860, w/o Congress acting she owes: $1200. <---WTF?

Where the hell are the people marching to the Republican door step and forcing their hand.

I just posted it to my facebook. Most of my friends are family and at least half of those are republicans. I hope they all try out the calculator.

5. no no no no. Payroll tax is a political tool to keep Social Security off the books and solvent.

I don't want this to be a permanent tax cut, it will either underfund the system or permanently tie it into the general fund. It needs to go back to 6%.
