Every dollar of the earnings of the poor is taxed (SS taxes). The surpluses in the SS trust fund are moved to the general revenues, and the rich get a tax-cut from there, even in spite of the humongous budget deficits (which would have been even higher if the SS surpluses had not been moved). Robbing the poor to pay the rich. Like Robin Hood in reverse.

"but a policy that favors the wealthy at the expense of the poor is immoral" Show me one that does this and maybe you have a point. Good luck. "The deck is stacked against the poor and middle class these days" Again, an example would be nice. In America, everybody has the same chance. "Decks" are not just passed out or "stacked against" anybody. Your "feelings" about the matter probably make you feel good about the problems that poor people have, but don't seemed to be backed up with any facts or logic. Like I said, the dems and libs like to make these people feel better by making baseless comments (like you have above), but this does no good for those you claim to care about.
