If SS is not a tax, could you elect to not pay it? Of course, the poor do get more than they paid from SS and the middle class (especially, the middle class with $100K salary or so) contribute a lot to it and only get a small portion back.
SS is a wellfare TAX that middle class paid for poor when the Rich do not contribute!! The income Gap for SS should be removed! I voted for Obama last time mainly because he said he would remove the GAP. I do not blame to him because I know those rich and Republic would not allow him to do so. Yes, rich, more precisely higher wage earners > $100k since rich is defined by asset not income, paid the same as those who earned $100K. However, they get the same pay check as those who earned $100K, no more extra benefit. Why should people who earned their money hard way (these are all earned income, not investment income) be forced to pay for other people's benefit? is this not wealth distribution or 社会主义?
Yes, our government forced you to pay for these taxes. That's why you should demand our government not to force you into it instead of asking the government to tax more to fill the gap! |
