You, sir/madam are part of the problem, SS and Medicare ARE funded by the payroll taxes and although they were put on Budget by LBJ in the 60's thus creating a unified budget that was never the intent of FICA nor the intent of SS/Medicare.
It is your money that is supposed to fund your retirement supplement. Putting it on budget just allows Congress to spend the money anyway they want and waste your SS/Medicare money. You don't seem to have a problem with your money for retirement being used for something else

Notice how no liberal is supporting your position?
Where did i say i don't have a problem with ss used elsewhere? All i said was that payroll taxes dont fund SS which seem to think it does. Just more dumb straw man arguements from you.
