We can have everything we want if we just pass laws making others pay for it. That should work for a while.
The SS tax rate was raised almost 30 years ago. Those who are poised to start receiving benefits have been paying a higher than required rate for quite a while in anticipation of these years.
Yes, I know all about the politicians spending the surplus rather than raising taxes or cutting spending. That doesn't change the fact that those about to receive benefits paid extra into the system for many, many years.
