Because perception is more important than reality in politics.
The SS witholding became a tax back when Lyndon Johnson put the funds in the general fund. Since then, the money has been spent on everything from welfare to war, just like any other tax.
So then the attacks on Bush were all BS like I thought. So, if it is a tax, let's do away with it all together, and let me invest for my own retirement. I am sure I would do better than 1% return.
