>>Allen, the Social Security tax on benefits ( same effect as cutting benefits) was part of Clinton's budget in 1993 which the democratic congress approved. No partisanship just the facts. I don't like politicians both parties are bought and paid for.<<

Mike -

It should be noted that Soc. Sec. benefits are only taxed when the recipient makes a certain amount of money per year from other sources of income.

Thus, for people who depend on those benefits for the bulk of their income, there has been no cut.
