tonto, right now, Greenspan is telling Congress that your Social Security benefits should be cut to help reduce the budget deficit. Since you are such a deficit hawk, I'm sure you won't mind.

Yes I paid a lot of taxes some years. But then again, percentage-wise, I paid less than the average worker when I was making 350 K a year. That's because of all the write-offs available to the rich including incorporating yourself. Nobody likes taxes, but if the guys making 350 K or 3 million a year don't pay their fair share, this society degrades quickly and we fall deeper in debt. We are seeing that happen right now. I expect to make over 200 K the next few years but I am willing to sacrifice so long as everyone else does, incuding the billionaires and trust funders. Our economy will be much stronger once we get back to balanced budgets. That includes Clinton era tax levels for the upper brackets.
