30. A carbon tax is dead, why do you think the energy industry
invested so mush money supporting Republicans? Besides that the SS payroll tax should be left the way it is. The way it is now everyone sees money taken out of their checks to fund SS and they will expect to get SS. If you start funding it from some carbon tax or just out of the general fund people will not see they have a personal stake in SS and it will open the door open to eliminate it.
