As well they should.
That didn't stop congress from taxing social security in the 80s
That is the second time that money was taxed. You paid on it when they
collected it too.
I still think we ain't seen nothin yet. As the Ponzi character of
SS/Medicare starts becoming obvious to even the most rabid of bleeding
heart liberals, they will take it out on anyone they think does not
"need" it, no matter how much we put in.
I bet a couple making anywhere near $100k in retirement will have most
if not all of their SS completely taxed away.

We'll see.
There are a lot more senior citizens now than there were in the 80s,
and we are organized, and we vote. I think it would be political
suicide for anyone trying to increase SS taxes beyond today's onerous
levels.
At least I don't have New York and New Jersey reaching into my pocket
anymore, and our property taxes are only 25% of what we used to pay in
the NY 'burbs. Dockage is cheaper also. :-)
