It should be obvious that the point of all this heavy breathing on the part of the Bush folk is to eliminate SS. Not to repair SS. If it is that obvious, I support elimination of SS from a taxation perspective and a claim-bennies perspective. A couple reasons : - I have made efforts to think about my retirement time, without any government aid. I fail to see how others can not. - There are many legal workers in the US, that get SS taxes deducted from their paycheck. When their work visa expires, they go back to where they came from. What happens to their SS tax deduction ? : Uncle Sam keeps it, they cant get it because they are not US citizens, and not US residents.
