The ONLY one that has raised payroll taxes is REAGAN and they have NEVER been cut since then....so much for trickle down....more like peed upon by the rich.....funny how THEIR payment gets cut off at a number that allows them to escape taxes for most of their income. while those who don't make $70 grand (or whatever the exact number is)have to pay tax on 100% of their lower income...... of course the fed employees don't have to pay squat nor do the members of Congress...fancy that..... wonder why Bushkee didn't lower THOSE TAXES.......because they don't apply to his BUDDIES WITH MONEY!

PS: If you think any of the current slate of Demo dwarfs is going to actually fix this problem, you are even dippier than I thought. They will either blow it off and then raise payroll taxes (or more likely income taxes) later to cover its shortfalls or hike payroll taxes now to pretend they've fixed it, then claim they've fixed the overall budget deficit and spend the money elsewhere. There will be no genuine reform. I see. And Bush has the answer to Social Security problems? Well why hasn't he fixed SS by now? He's got a GOP congress, so can't blame the dems on this one. But then he has bigger fish to fry, like running up record deficits. Orca
