My problem with SS taxes is that people who make over 90,000 pay a rate that is effectively lower than those who make 25,000. Why the artificial cap on where you have to pay SS? Why do NBA, NFL, MLB, NHL (if working), and Paris Hilton get out of the system so early? If we kept the tax on all income (earned, capital gains, etc...) the solvency of the system would take care of itself.

As far as I'm concerned, Bush is following the neocon course here. attempt to bankrupt the government and follow with massive gutting of social programs.
