That 4.7% increase is only half of the tax. Rostenkowski and the Democrats proposed a 22% FICA tax in 1991 to ensure the boondoggle survival for another 75 years. Together with Clinton's 8-9% health care tax, the Democrats proposed about a 31% payroll tax to fund these monstrosities. One could expect the health care tax to easily approach 15 to 20% in short order. So, the tax on payroll would probably grow to around 40% in time. The Democrats purposely understate the tax necessary to fund the program and its many layers in order to get the program started. In addition, waste and fraud in health care would grow even more. We would need a virtual police state to look after these government programs and their rampant fraud.

Zoltan!, Huh? I thought ML on this board generally referred to Monica, although it is true ML also stands for Merrill Lynch. The ML article in question was where Monica was said to not be capable of writing a coherent document (as in, the talking points, etc). FWIW, I do agree that SS is underperforming for Postwar Americans. Hmmm, ML = Monica Lewinsky AND ML = Merrill Lynch. Could those two entities be separated at birth? Michelle

Hillary opposed to any apology August 9, 1998 BY ROBERT NOVAK SUN-TIMES COLUMNIST "These sources say the first lady takes the position that an admission of error by her husband would cripple his presidency." suntimes.com The real reason is then she would have to admit that the "vast right-wing conspiracy" is just another lie on her part, just like she lied when she said that she had no part in the firing of White House Travel Office head Billy Dale, etc., etc., etc. DD
