I'm completely against that. There should be no test for receiving SS. You pay in, you get out. Because you worked hard and made more money in the end than the other 98% of people, why should you be denied Social Security at retirement? If we need more revenue to make it work in 27 years, then let's raise the ceiling just a little now, make the whole fund flush for decades to come, and even be able to increase benefits to everyone! Why in the world don't we do that? Rather than looking at cutting benefits or raising the retirement age on the vast majority of recipients, those who make very little and have paid into it for 20-30 years already. That makes no sense to me at all.

![]() Didn't SS pay out more than it took in in 2010? How is that solvent. The tax cuts create more revenue for the Govt. FACT. If you raise income taxes on the wealthy they pay less taxes. They didn't get wealthy by giving their money away. A lot of wealthy people pay no income tax. They stop showing income when the tax rates get too high. That is how they stay wealthy. Income Tax does not tax wealth, just income. Do you want to seize property from the wealthy to make up for a lack of income? The Govt. is going to have to start spending within its means.

![]() Our military equipment is getting pretty beat up from all the years in Afghan and Iraq. Now would be a good time for a military buildup. That's always an economy booster. Lots of jobs. Increased revenue for the feds. Call it a humanitarian effort to bring the Libs on board.

![]() When that first came up I thought it sounded like a good idea. Now, not so much.

![]() It did sound good at first, especially for the young, but recent economic realities showed the flaws.
