Reply #37: Thank you for correctly framing this issue.

In fact, the SS Tax implemented under Reagan with Democratic complicity was the largest tax hike in
history. It partially covered up the growing debt crisis caused by the supply siders insistence on deep cuts in income tax.

Even Clinton's so called surpluses were made possible by SS revenues masking general fund short falls.

This surely must be the largest heist in the history of the world. I am glad to see others waking to
what is really the crux of this issue. The wealthy want to default on the loans they received in enormous
tax cuts and subsidies from the middle class. It is that simple.
