2. TORO TURD!--Privatizing Social Security is what panders to the right
Edited on Fri Nov-16-07 06:24 PM by rocknation
At the debate, Obama suggested eliminating the $96K salary cap, Hillary said it would tax the middle class, Obama pointed out that it would tax only the top six per cent of wage earners, Hillary was embarrassed, and now Krugman is trying to clean up after her by claiming that there's nothing wrong with Social Security and that eliminating the salary cap panders to the right.

Bush pushed privatization only because his big-bucks cronies and backers would cash in. The majority of the American public (not a handful of noisy radical "progressives") rejected privatization because they realized it was A STUPID IDEA and A SCAM, not because it would break something that doesn't need fixing. Eliminating the salary cap would allow the middle class to pay a LOWER rate, Hillary. Oh, and Paul, if there's nothing wrong with Social Security, raising or eliminating the salary cap can only make MORE solvent!
