Clark & Gephardt defend the most regressive federal tax with lies.

[stickdog]

I'm watching the news and they come on with a blurb about the Dem primaries.

They talk about Dean's "self-inflicted gaffes" and how he's gotten himself into "another pickle" with his plan to lower FICA.

Then they cut to Clark & Gephardt arguing that giving lower and middle class wage earners a break on FICA will threaten Social Security.

:wtf: is up with that crap?

How can ANYONE support a candidate who is prepared to make a bs argument like that?

FICA runs a surplus that Bush has stolen to fund his neverending wars.

Any tax relief should have come in the form of stimulating FICA relief -- but instead Bush gave it all to the rich -- you know, the people who could already spend whatever they felt like spending BEFORE Bush's tax cuts.

So now we have Gephardt & Clark making the COMPLETELY DISINGENUOUS claim that lowering the most regressive of all federal taxes will threaten Social Security?

:wtf:
