that really make it apparent that they are contributing to SS. In the next few weeks the Repugs will be coming after the so-called entitlements especially SS and the reaction of the American People should be - Hey that's my money and you're not touching it. Of course this needs to be reinforced by the President and the Dems. I just think the timing of this expiration of this tax break is going to be an asset in fighting the fight for not touching SS.
