Have fun watching the economy grind down when two workers have to support the social security of one person with only social security taxes. That is, on top of federal income tax, state income tax, property taxes, paying for food and housing, etc. etc., each worker in America will have to pay half of the social security cost of someone.

So, yeah, taxes could work in gathering money. But the system needs to fixed (damn you FDR), and that means allowing people to have control over where they invest.

But nooooooooooooooooooooooooo, the democrats had to stop Bush's plan that would have fixed that, just because they wanted to be contrary.
