GF,
-You ask " Does it bother you that the IRS now furnishes your income to the SSA at age 65???? "
-my answer has always been "yes."
-I believe the only time someone outside of teh IRS should see my returns is 1) when I authorize it, or 2) if a government agency is going to give me something that i say I can't afford, then I beleive the govt agency has the right to detemine if in fact I can't afford it.
-I'm not a big fan of graduated pay plans; even one like your example above where someone who makes $100,000 or even millions more than someone else only pays an extra $40 per month.
-The concept sucks, I'm just not a fan of socialism.
If I make $50,000/yr and go into a restaurant and order a steak and pay $20 for it, I don't like the idea that the guy next to me who makes $40,000/yr pays $15 for his steak. Apply that logic to buying cars, houses, clothes, and suddenly there is no difference between a $40,000 salary and a $50,000 salary. The only difference probably is in the reponsibility, knowledge, experience, etc. required to do the jobs.
-Don't get me wrong about heath care reform. I believe that in a country as rich as we are (use to be?) every citizen should be able to get health care. I just believe we can do it through market dynamics within workable confines of limited government regulations ---that's not HR3200.
