There is no surplus. Never was. AND not a dime of FICA was ever refunded to taxpayers. Not a dime. When income taxes are cut, income tax payers pay less. Those who don't pay income tax don't get that which they haven't paid. If you give out AIDS cocktails, you wouldn't give them to people without AIDS, right?
