[quote=Anonymous]To the original question, by keeping the funds flowing into social security low (via the payroll tax cut), which in the past two years has failed to stimulate the economy, you are also screwing over social security as well. The converse to the statement asked, isn't that the GOP is raising the payroll tax, but that the Democratic Party is rushing the Social Security fund to insolvency. I'm glad Obama gave it a try (to cut payroll taxes to stimulate the economy), but it didn't work. So raise it back and try something different. I don't have a dog in this hunt, but I see both parties are doing their damndest to make next election year difficult for the other party. The GOP wants to see taxes go up because they genuinely believe that will piss off enough people to vote for them. Obama wants to keep it low because it helps his chances (perhaps the closest this country will get to an admission by him that tax cuts do improve the economy or rather tax increases hurt). So I'd like to see both parties run out of DC. They are both shameless.[/quote]
