But I guess a man has got to have a dream, so dream away!

I love the parasite advocacy shills on this board. We exist therefore the wealth of others belongs to US

No, remember we didn't elect the guy that suggested a lock box, we went instead with the guy we would rather have a beer with, and that worked out well, didn't it?

Fortunately, Social Security has very good accountants that have kept track of the SS receipts and they have treasury notes for $2.6 trillion dollar surplus.

Of course the GOP has made it clear since their win in 2010 that they would like to disregard the debt to our seniors and spend it instead on more tax cuts for the rich and increased military spending.

I'm guessing that is not going to fly with seniors, whom the GOP has relied upon in the past to win elections.

Labor is what creates wealth. And then there are those at the top that sponge of it. The masters have nobody to work their plantations without slaves.

GOD HELP YOU if the rich ever unite

All 1% of you? LOL!

"You keep forgetting the rich only got temporary tax cuts because the working class agreed to them on the promise of US jobs. Since that promise was unfulfilled, there is no longer any reason for the working class to continue voting for tax cuts for the rich."

MOre of the "I exist therefore I am entitled to your wealth" nonsense.

You get paid what you are worth. You are not entitled to anything else

Your collection of the mediocre, the unknowledgeable and the manipulated is hilarious

(smile) It goes directly into the general fund...you really NEED to educate yourself..

What happens to the taxes that go into the trust funds?

Tax income is deposited on a daily basis and is invested in "special-issue" securities. The cash exchanged for the securities goes into the general fund of the Treasury and is indistinguishable from other cash in the general fund.

Exactly, that's what we are about to fix. The rich aren't producing jobs in this country so they don't deserve to keep the tax cuts we voted for previously.

You have no way of refuting this, do you?
