I understand. We'll just have to see various plans on the table and then compare them. People making under $50,000 pay very little, if any, income tax. It would seem to me that paying their portion of SS wouldn't be a huge burden, if they don't have to pay the other tax. Especially if the SS tax they pay is to help pay for their retirement eventually. What I'd like to see is just how many people in the US are STILL exempt from paying into the SS system. If groups like the Railroad workers, and various State Teachers associations had to pay into SS like most everyone else, there would be moe money in the system. I've always thought it was wrong to take money from a large group of people, and exempt others from having to do the same thing.
