In addition to that when you look at the large entitlement programs, you'll find they are not targeted towards the rich. They are either broad based (Social Security, Medicare), or targeted towards the poor (for example Medicaid)

Of course they aren't but that is not the point. The point is that this program will pay out much less to whoever the recipient class is vs what they pay in starting with people who are 45 and under, today.

Therefore, the fact that whatever puny benefits there are are going to a broadbased population is not relevant.

The point is that this is a highly regressive tax that only targets the middle income and lower classes.
