4. He already is
40% of our FICA taxes go to the general fund along with income taxes. When they say SS is failing, they mean that the gravy train will come to an end and that 100% of FICA will eventually be needed to support the elderly.

Bush wants to slash benefits by a third RIGHT NOW, and that will free up even more money for his imperial ambitions. So old folks won't be able to survive. Well, they're OLD. You know, useless to the Bush machine. They should just die, already.

Those SS investment schemes are just a smoke screen, since the average investment of 2% of the FICA paid will be very low for most taxpayer.
