Does anyone ever notice that the liberals only "plan" to improve jobs and the fiscal problems our Federal government has is a plan to raise taxes....and to take more money from our fellow citizens?

How much is enough? What will be their "plan" when they have taxed "the rich" out of existence?

It´s always pay their fair share, pay their fair share, on and on and on with these liberals, why don´t they just pass a bill to take everything the rich have and be done with it. They never talk about the deadbeats who contribute nothing because of their laziness to do their fair share.

FTA: "People are quite dependent upon Social Security now," DeFazio said, because they haven´t been able to save enough money: "That´s not going to change at any predictable time in the future."

Rats, I thought we were promised change. Maybe these two Commies should talk to the Commie in Chief about the expansion of dependency and lessening of savings during his reign of error, and his stupid policies which call for more of the same.

Apparently, these two numbskulls believe "the rich" should basically reimburse the government and then some for the shortfalls caused by the payroll tax holiday, fourfold extension of unemployment benefits, and Zero´s war on prosperity. This is more insanity, not a cure.

Their "94% of Americans pay SS on all their income" is a faulty premise also. Too large a number of Americans receive EITC which well more than offsets what they pay in SS, and "the rich" are already shelling out over half their income in taxes, well more than the 94%.

Maybe these two should try a novel concept for raising revenue, such as putting people back to work, fudged and downward-adjusted labor numbers notwithstanding.

...the ´´Keeping Social Security Promises Act,´´ which asks the wealthiest Americans to ´´pay their fair share into the fund.´´

I´m sorry, Senators, but you didn´t explain who, exactly, broke the promise.

If the rich can collect SS, the theybshould pay into it, too. Why in Hades should they collect and not pay?

Sounds like the ´rich´ are very important people in America. They´re pulling the wagon. Wonder why the left is so mean to them. They´re even contributing a big part of the politicians´ bloated salaries.

Tax-the-Rich Plan Introduced in Congress

Let me guess.... Congress has exempted themselves as they are very rich off of bribes.

At least Bernie Sanders admits to being a socialist.

It´s always framed as "asking" (whomever) to pay their fair share.
The government never asks; they put a gun to your head and force you to pay.

How about my counter-proposal bill?
I propose that ALL MEMBERS OF CONGRESS, as weel as the US Federal government, shall pay FICA tax.
Isn´t it nice that Red Bernie Sanders, and The Fonz, don´t pay any social security taxes, but want to increase your payments?

Continuation of the old poncy scheme!

This won´t stop until the libtards are given a fair 5 min trial and then hanged from the nearest lamp post. Commies/Socialists never quit while still breathing.

Have you noticed that neither the Dems in Congress nor Obama bring up increasing taxes on foundations and trusts?

As all Commies and libs do, sanders just makes it up. The $113K limit is the covered compensation amount. When I started working 40 years ago it was $10,400. In those days you didnt pay tax on benefits either. SWo.. all this thief wants to do is raise the tax rate without actually improving the benefit. Time to repeal the complete Ponzi scam that is social security, or at least phas itr out over the next 25-30 myears or so.

Strange how all these increaed taxes are just above the salaries of the Congress and wives or husbands incomes.

If you want to fix the problem tax everyone and not raid the trust funds and increase empoyment!

54.4 million abortions has caused a strain on our growth. We are left with a egocentric population consumed in themselves

How many workers and contributors have we aborted?

From doctors, to the most important people on the planet those who pick up our garbage and keep us healthy,

We have virtually vaporized CA and NY in the name of choice..We are paying a price for this choice!

Social security funds would be there, Bernie, if you would stop allowing contributions to spent on general fund deficits. Bernie Sanders is a nasty liar and should retire from sight.

#5 do you really believe what you just wrote? Do you really think the rich don´t pay into SS and that they collect without paying. What have you been reading? They pay in and often don´t get to collect and what they do collect they pay a lot more taxes on than others because they have too much other income. Jeez.

Sure, can we lift the cap on the benefit limits too?

Unfortunately, Peter DeFazio, who never met a tax he didn´t like, is the very definition of moron writ large. He barely squeeked back into office this last time due to the fact that he actually had a decent opponent. But due to some extremely nasty and possibly ethically challenged advertising, he was reelected. The guy is very nasty.

Because it was set up, by left-wing New Dealers, as an insurance program, not a welfare program. So if you make $10 million/year for every year you work, you only collect $2,000/month.

And these clowns know that.

We ALL pay into the social security fund. But at somewhere around the $110,000.00 level (per year) you stop paying anymore $ into the social security fund..... fir he rest of the year.

You see, somewhere in the $55,000 to $60,000 per year range you reach a point to where you will not gain anymore in your monthly SS retirement check.

There was wisdom in placing a cap on how much a financially successful person has to pay into a system. Because ...... If they are going to limit the mount (monthly/yearly) you can take out of the SS system, shouldn´t there also be a limit on how much you pay into the SS system?

In any event, those of us who have the nerve to succeed ARE paying into the SS system.

Libtards never change. CA proposes taxing e-mails and bicycles because they use the roads too. There is nothing so dumb as a libtard.
