I guess I shouldn't be surprised since Dummycrats have always felt that my bank account is their bank account.

WASHINGTON - <?XML:NAMESPACE PREFIX = AT /><AT:CLASS></AT:CLASS>Democrat Barack Obama said Sunday that if elected he will push to increase the amount of income that is taxed to provide monthly Social Security benefits.
<AT:CLASS></AT:CLASS>Obama and other Democratic presidential candidates previously have signaled support for this idea.
<AT:CLASS></AT:CLASS>But during an interview on NBC's "Meet the Press," Obama said subjecting more of a person's income to the payroll tax is the option he would push for if elected president.
<AT:CLASS></AT:CLASS>He objected to benefit cuts or a higher retirement age.
<AT:CLASS></AT:CLASS>"I think the best way to approach this is to adjust the cap on the payroll tax so that people like myself are paying a little bit more and people who are in need are protected," the Illinois senator said.
<AT:CLASS></AT:CLASS>"That is the option that I will be pushing forward."

If SS tax income were used only for SS funding, it could be handled more efficiently. However, it goes into the black hole of the general fund, where it melts into the mass. It then becomes available for any liberal giveaway.

Like all Government answers to private problems, SS has become a monster out of control - The Dems speak of it with the awe and reverence due to holy scriptures, and for them it may as well be... Because it is their slush fund thet use for all manner of under-the-table programs...

Never forget, money is the lifeblood for a Leftist politician... There is no problem they can't solve by throwning enough money at it... In their eyes, we are cattle who earn money for them to rule us with...
