Reply #31: That's NOT what Biden said. He said he "would bring Democrats and Republicans together to agree on

options for keeping Social Security solvent including raising the cap on income subject to the Social Security tax so that the most wealthy shoulder their fair share ($97,500 is the maximum for 2007)."

Biden's statement doesn't say that he would raise the cap on income subject to the Social Security tax, as you incorrectly imply.

He merely said that he would form a bi-partisan committee and try to get them to agree on a solution and one option he would ask the bi-partisan committee to agree upon would include raising the cap. What in God's name makes you think a bi-partisan committee would agree to that? Did you read where Biden explained what he would do if his bi-partisan committee didn't agree to that proposal (which they wouldn't)? If you found where Biden addressed what he'd do if his bi-partisan committee didn't agree to raise the cap, please show me where because I sure didn't see it anywhere.

If Biden was so worried about the "wealthy shouldering their fair share," why did he vote for deducting Social Security payments on income taxes? If Biden was concerned about protecting Social Security, why did he vote against Gore's Social Security Lockbox?

The ARA rates the candidates on the candidates' positions on protecting Social Security. Kucinich, Edwards, Hillary, and Dodd have better ratings than Biden (I couldn't find Obama's ratings or Richardson's so please don't infer that Biden has a better record than Obama
