Hey Libs...why do tax cuts for our most productive suck?

It's a shame that you fail to understand pragmatic vis a vis ideology. The solution to any shortfall in FICA is easily mitigated, simply raise the taxable wage base from $127,000 to $250,000 or even higher.

Who suffers, pro athletes, actors, money managers, CEO's, CFO's, Attorney's, Doctor's, etc. And yet they won't suffer since the amount per check is chump change to these high earners.

So your solution is to REDISTRIBUTE the FICA tax burden? What happened to these programs being UNIVERSAL huh? You think if you move it towards just another welfare program that the American people would EVER trust your side with ANY future "Universal Anythings"???

Nope, a bridge too far. Making the benefits NEGATIVE for some ruins the promise of it being "universal". 12.5% of income is what IT TAKES to make the programs work for EVERYONE. And the programs were designed and PROMISED to benefit everyone. Make it straight welfare and more redistribution then. Be honest about it.

Wry Catcher wants to turn it into a welfare program while maintaining the fiction that it's a retirement program.

It seems there’s still lots of whining going on with regard to the tax cuts.
I’m curious, why do tax cuts suck?

Because they run up the debt.
