Wrong. Just read the Fair Tax legislation.

My congressional candidate this November supports it. Ever Republican
attempting to get retiring John Linder's US Senate seat for Georgia
supports it. Other than that, I don't know which candidates support
it.

you're wrong. It's exactly that. The entire premise of SS is to force
people to put
aside money for the inevitable day when they will not be working but
will still need money to live.

that's exactly the same reason that we also force people to pay into
Medicare.

not understanding this - is not understanding what the real issues
are.

the majority of people in this country are wooses when it comes to
street people that are 80 years old and die on the steps of the ERs
unable to get treated because they are destitute.

If we were willing to do this - let the elderly go homeless and die..
we could then do away with Medicare and SS but until we are willing to
do that Medicare and SS will not go away. You're dreaming if you
think otherwise.

this is my point... the FAIR tax is not mainstream Republican idea and
it probably should be instead of the non-specific blather they engage
in. But these guys are no longer guys of principles... they are little
more than political vandals these days.

I have read it. It makes claims about the future that will not be
delivered upon. There is no such thing as permanent law.
