No where in the constitution does it authorize a Social Security program. This was settled by the Supreme Court on May 24, 1937. Look it up. I'm very aware of that decision Mr WIkipedia. The fact that a couple of judges said so doesn't change the language of the constitution though. I never said the Supreme Court struck down social security, I just said it isn't authorized by the constitution because it isn't. Well, that's your opinion, Mr. economic expert, which may be shared by the likes of Mr. Wesley Snipes. However, it just so happens the opinions of the USSC are more relevant. I hate to be the one to break that news to you, but it had to be done. |

Ok, now you are really desperate. Where did I say the Court struck down Social Security? I just pointed on that the Constitution doesn’t authorize it. -Robert, Economic Expert. |

No where in the constitution does it authorize a Social Security program. Too bad you didn't get as far as the 16th amendment, Mr. economic expert. The 16th amendment just change the requirement that taxes be appointed amoung the states. It does not authorize a social security system. You probably shouldn't try to read the constitution on your own. Try taking a real consitutional law class. Tell us again how a "couple of judges" on the USSC are wrong and you're right. That was a good one. So now you're a legal expert, too. With entertainment like this, who needs the comedy channel? |

First explain how it's relevant to what Mr. economic expert claimed and then we'll talk. Fair enough? Looks like he's backing down Steve. He's now trying to find anyway possible to get out of explaining how taking more money out of your check and giving it to social security is not a tax increase. I'm just not stupid enough to answer loaded questions, Mr. economic/legal expert. You continually employ your childish tactic of diversion by snipping out relevent text, and then you want to fault someone else for dismissing irrelevant nonsense? Are you even old enough to vote? |

... I have yet to hear how you claim this is not a tax increase. Then why do you keep pretending I did? All I did was to take issue with the accuracy of YOUR claim, Mr. economic expert. What claim? I said "Obama has pre-announced that the payroll tax we are paying will increase". I even sent you a link. Now you are somehow trying to claim that charging more a year in social security tax is not an increase in payroll tax. I"m still waiting for you to find a response to that. I guess you can't since you just change the subject. For someone who claims to be a legal expert, you sure are weak on literacy. By saying "we" any reasonable person would infer you meant 'everyone' since you clearly didn't define "we". As I said, Mr. economic/legal expert, either you were ignorant that Obama's proposal didn't even come close to meaning 'everyone', or you were clearly behaving in a duplicitous manner. So which is it? There are no other conclusions. Why are you so afraid to answer that question? |

Which means Obama is proposing to increase payroll taxes. Why do you find that significant? If you want me to answer your questions you must answer mine first. |

Actually it's not even that. Someone with a million dollars in investment income who has no wage income pays $0 FICA to begin with. That's why I stipulated 'payroll taxes.' Of course, Bush cut the taxes on dividend income, so your hypothetical investor not only doesn't pay FICA, she got an income tax decrease to boot. Does the fact that her dividend is simply her share of post income tax profits mean anything at all to you? |
