I am very unhappy with this whole effort regarding the “Payroll Tax Cut Extension” that congress has been struggling with and have just passed. Social Security is a mixture of entitlements and paid contributions. I happen to have paid into Social Security for my entire working career.

I see this as a patronizing political move by the President to gain support from a Weak Minded electorate. In essence they are taking money from Social Security to pay for something that has virtually no impact on employment or the economy. Why don’t they say that they are taking the money from the Social Security fund? Instead they refer to this as a Payroll Tax which many assume is the same as our Income Tax. It’s very deceptive as is most of what we hear from the Left.

I am on Social Security now and I don’t appreciate these politicians taking money from the Social Security fund. Many have been concerned with the way congress has spent the Social Security funds in the past and here we have them doing it right in our face and the Republicans are not calling them out on the issue. I expect this from the Democrats but I thought we had some folks in the Republican Party that were trying to stick up for us.

As you can see – I do not support this “Payroll Tax Cut Extension” nor do I support the extension of unemployment benefits. Our country is in deep trouble and yet it seems that the politicians are more concerned about their spending than the welfare of our nation.

God help us!
