We've known about this demographic problem for a while....and yet, the rate of payroll deduction for SS has not changed in at least 20 years. Why is that? You'll recall that GWB tried to do something about the SS mess a few years ago and was bludgeoned for it. What I remember is he wanted to privatize it. How did that take care of the demographic problem? The SS tax burden already increases on an annual basis by virtue of the ever-increasing wage base. And in fact, the maximum annual contribution to SS has increased from $9,448 in 2000 to $13,243 in 2010, and increase of 40% taxpayers earning from 75-100K -- basically, middle income taxpayers. Obama has now attached killer tax rates to capital gains to fund Medicare. So, the only real place to go at this point is to increase the tax rate, which will kill the working poor. BS. We're talkng probably a percent change to make it work out. Why hasn't it? Answer the damn question. We are taxed to death and it is getting ready to deteriorate further. Shut up, whiner! You're paying the lowest taxes in 60 years. I don't want to hear your crying. I honestly don't understand why it is so hard for leftwing whackjobs like yourself to understand. <?I> Why are you such a self centered, non altruistic, whiny baby? Oh wait.......you're an R. Never mind.
