I don't either, but if we have to pay our bills the government must pay their bills also. No more taxes and no more increase in taxes. If we sit down and look at the taxes we pay on everything including air we breathed, it is ridiculous how much taxes we pay.

Dorothy Rayner, that is a good idea, in theory. As of 2012, about $3 trillion of the nearly $16 trillion national debt is owed to the SSA and that's in Treasury Bills that the Federal Reserve exchanges with the SSA for cash to pay other bills. But, more in interest payments went to the SSA than was paid to 2011 that the SSA paid out in benefits- ($110 million paid out, $142 million collected in interest payments). The whole "SSA adds to the debt" idea is bogus since the SSA is self-supporting, but some (many?) Republicans spread the lie that the SSA needs to be cut even though that would make absolutely no difference to the National debt; but a lot of less-educated people believe any lie the GOP pushes. I'm with you: tax the rich. From WWII until 1960 the top marginal rate was 89% to 90% And in the 1960s and 1970s the top rate was 70%, yet the US not only prospered, it became the wealthiest nation on earth. We rebuilt Europe after the war, provided the GI Bill for veterans, grew the middle class and the rich were still rich, so I don't understand the reluctance to raise taxes even to the Clinton-era rates.
