Money to pay for SS and Medicare has to come from somewhere

The concentration of wealth in the top 1% of taxpayers would be a good place to start. The bottom 99% are tapped out; that's everyone making less than $3 million per year.

You can only get so much blood out of us turnips, you know ?

3. Vanishing middle class, vanishing middle class, vanishing middle

Vanishing democracy, vanishing democracy, vanishing democracy. You get the picture. The two-word Republican pr campaigns work for the people this time around.

5. Wealthiest 1% controlling 71% of the wealth and we tax the 99% ?

and let the wealthiest avoid/evade taxation...This subidization of the rich needs to stop somewhere. During Bush's administration you'd think tax equity would become an issue.

2. Make the wealthy pay back the tax cuts they were given....

...that will restore at least $1.5 trillion, then raise the cap to $250,000 which will pump more than enough money into the SS trust fund to keep it solvent until at least 2075. Then, kick Bush and his gang of thieves out of power and get the economy moving, restore diplomacy before war policies to make the world safer again and pump up jobs and trade and the issue will become a non-issue. There is nothing wrong with social security system as it is. We can have that and give the x-generation their private account retirement accounts to boot. Just stop the corporate welfare coming out of Washington.

4. The tax cut elimination alone restores medicare according to Kerry

during the campaign. The cap raising on SS alone eliminates worries about SS.

During Reagan's 1981 tax cut and ensuing tax increases, oops, they called the ensuing tax increases 'REVENUE ENHANCEMENTS'. We can make up another euphimism.
