And I'm on a broadband which never gives me trouble.

Maybe my PATRIOT Filter is blocking it.

Let me see if that website is on Norton FreedomWorks' blocked list.

Which is why something screwed up.

Regardless, this piece of propaganda is a blatant piece of fiction.

Impressive Do the numbers add up? Is there a cap on social security above $90,000. If so, I'm guessing removing it would go a large part to solving the crisis.

It would -- but the argument is that SS is supposed to be that you pay for a certain level of benefit. If a CEO pays 5000 for a given benefit level, thats totally fair since everyone else pays the same 5000 for the exact same benefit level. We don't expect a CEO to pay 10 times as much for his big mac do we??

Its the same with unemployment insurance premiums here . . . the premiums are only taken on the first 40K of income. . . Why?? Because if a 90K a year person loses their job, they get the exact same benefits as the person in the 45K a year position. In theory its insurance .. .

The excess income a person earns as compared to another person gets dealt with by the income taxation system which is already somewhat progressive.(I know there are loopholes and sometimes I wonder if flatter taxes with less loopholes would be a way to get the really rich paying fairly but in general I have no problem with progressive taxation). Put more bluntly,if you want the rich to pay more, do it directly by raising their tax rates . . . Don't go hiding it by charging people premiums for benefits you will not give. If you drop the cap on premiums, you should drop it on benefits as well
