How does sending more FIT to the Federal Govt. affect Senior benefits? You don't understand FICA do you?
I understand it enough that I know money taken in for Social Security was used to help fund optional wars so the rich could continue with their discounted tax rates, and that its time for the rich folks to pay that money back, rather than the seniors have to take the hit in reduced benefits.
SS rate payers did not create the nation's debt and they should not be made to take up the slack for the wealthiest who have benefited from their tax breaks for the last 30 years.
I am a senior and know that sending more to the govt. doesn't change my benefits at all.
It does when people are using the national debt (most of which, would not exist without 30 years of tax breaks for the rich) as an excuse for further cutting away at the middle class benefits provided through SS and Medicare.
