To Senator Gramm I saw you stand at the rostrum and address the Senate. I believe you mistook or overlooked that the poor have to pay tax on 100 percent of their yearly earnings. As opposed to those who earn enough so that only a portion of their earnings are taxed. So the bigger burden lies on the poor being taxed on 100 percent of their earnings. Social Security tax is not any different.
All tax is for the good used for the many.
If one were to pay the yearly social security tax, as the poor do, for all their earning years and expire after 64 years and 364 days of age and their spouse does likewise, in such case you can't say that the tax they paid benefited them. There I go, I said tax. So Senator Gramm, be blessed as the poor are blessed not paying tax and go ahead, the poor won't mind. Allow the social security branch to dip out of 100 percent of your yearly earnings as they do for the poor and, yes, then tell the poor they do not pay tax. If the Senators, and there are some, agree with you let them be blessed too, as you would be blessed.
