Whoops --'nother important clarification...

I don't know what you mean about "stealing" from people with payroll taxes. We all get services from the gov't, and they need to be paid for.

For over 30 years, Congress allowed EVERY working American to be payroll taxed (SS/MC) at rates that FAR EXCEEDED what was required to run those programs. That's the groundwork for the theft. The actual implementation of the theft was when they took those revenues INTENDED TO PAY INSURANCE PREMIUMS and spent them on any crap they liked at the time. AND -- they did that knowing that both SS/MC were structured as "pay as you go" programs with no means of "lock-boxing" those HUMONGEOUS overcharges. (Amounts to at least 6 TRILLION bucks so far).
JonL: That's clearly theft that hurt the "working class" more than others. Can't be construed any other way. Why we ever trust the Fed Govt to run "Universal" anything again is beyond me...
