"Taxing social security is regressive.They are the poor. "

You have no idea what you are talking about. The poor don't get taxed. It hits people who have income from IRAs and other sources in addition to SS. Taxes start when 1/2 the SS income plus the outside income is over $34K for an individual.

" It did not need saving. "
What do you think this line in the trustee's report means?
"Without corrective legislation in the very near future, the Old-Age and Survivors Insurance Trust Fund will be unable to make benefit payments on time beginning no later than July 1983"
