Let's Raid Social Security Again? Are You Serious?

Forget the Rebublican or Democrat political spin.....what exactly is the payroll tax?

I have often asked the question with regards to the first time Congress decided that the "Social Security Trust Fund" was fair game to access for their insatiable need to spend. How could there not be a revolt? "Don't even think about it!" should have been the call....was everyone too busy to notice? The same exact thing is happening now! The payroll tax that we are hearing about in the news funds "The SS Trust fund" does it not? So what we are talking about is raiding that fund...right? Look at your children....that's who we are taking the money from...what is it $40 per week. Would you steal $40 from your children's Piggy bank? This madness must stop!

Notice I am not naming either political party. This argument is so simple....stop raiding Social Security. Stop spending more money than you have coming in.....figure it out....it's a numbers game. If you can't compromise we'll find representatives who will.
