Yes, but Big Al will have already given it to those who DID NOT pay it. Any thing left will be spent on new social programs.

Nick. So right you are to the tune of many trillions in unfunded liabilities. always makes me laugh when I here the righteous Pols talkin about a surplus. Since you comprehend that try this dirty little fact. In the 80's the fed receipts did double but 2/3 was due to payroll taxes. To me that means the lower wage guys have taken it in the ass. It sickens me to think Rep's don't get this, it is a fount of potential voter support to cut payroll taxes. GW is getting close with his proposal. I would make a serious national issue of the payroll tax, quit calling it social security since no one's future is really secure.
