I just heard Randi Rhodes say on her radio program that it's "not fair" that people aren't required to pay into the Social Security system on their income over $106,000/year.
I enjoy listening to your program, Randi, and I agree that the proposal for "deficit reduction" is a sham and likely aimed at privatizing Social Security. I believe it should be burned in a trash can in the parking lot.
BUT, Randi, don't lower yourself to the level of Fox and Friends. If Social Security is a retirement plan, then of course it is fair to stop taking money away from a person when there is no way in Hell that money will ever benefit that person later in their life.
If you want to tax people, fine. But be honest about it and call it a tax.
