I have no problem at all with cutting SS. And I think the cuts should extend to current retirees, who are getting a lot more out of the system than they contributed into it. And the sooner we cut the better. I like Greenspan's idea of increasing the SS retirement age as life expectancy increases.

Regardless of what we do with SS, it's a fact that increasing taxes on the top 10% will bring in a lot of money, given the statistics I presented in my previous post.
