Did I say means test it? NO. But lets face reality. SS is a tax, there is no lock box where your money is being put away for your retirement. That ended when congress first stole it to cover their mismanagement of the budget.

So, now that its a tax to provide retirement income for retired people, lets collect it on all income. There is no logical reason why people like Buffet, Gates, and Oprah should only pay it on the first 110K of income, and if a person'e sole source of income is capital gains, then collect SS on that income.

Quit being a liberal, "eat the rich" asshole. Throwing more money in the hole is not the right way to go. It's what liberals do. Are you a fucking liberal? There is a perfect reason why nobody should be taxed on more than $110,000 - they're not going to get any extra benefit for the money they pay in. It's an insurance program, not a welfare program. If it's now a welfare program, shut it down.

I've honestly had enough of you old people complaining about how you got screwed for having to pay into the system. That's your problem, not mine. It's not my responsibility to pay for your losses.

The line has been drawn in the sand. If you support Medicare and SS, you are a liberal. Pick your side, immediately. You're either with me or your against me.
