The purpose of this post was to illuminate the fact that an entitlement program can be funded by following Obama's cries of 'the fortunate are not paying their share' and help the masses.
The 'fortunate' do not rely on SS as a primary source of income. So . . . why hasn't Obama or his followers proposed either an increase in the tax or the removal of the earnings cap?
Plus, the fact the American public was never told that Social Security is in fact, insolvent. Not sometime in the future . . . but right now.
Don't look to the right to fund this program. It ain't gonna happen.
Now . . . America needs to build roads and bridges.
I guess Obama forgot about mending fences.
