FICA only adds 7% to them and they will get it all back and more, the rich won't get any of their FICA back

FICA taxes have become a huge scam way to over-tax working people. They only even apply to wage slaves making less than 90k - the truly wealthy that don't work don't pay in at all. Supposedly they'll help fund our medical and retirement. But once they hit the government coffers, those dollars get spent like any other tax dollar. The only true thing I can recall Bush saying was when he went to where the SS IOU's (bonds) were kept and waved them around saying they were just worthless paper. He knew it was true, because HE's spending it like a "drunken sailor", and has NO INTENTION of making good on the promises those bonds imply.
