It is funny that while there was some name calling in the last few weeks,
nothing to compare with the tirade that has developed since Harry returned.
Say what you will about the right wing trash or left wing socialist, no one
is more frustrated in his futile efforts to make an impact in the world than
Harry.

Not when considered as a percentage of total income. SS cuts off at
$80-some k.
For a lot of people, the SS pain in the butt disappears fairly early in
the
year (although the employer's contribution continues). Most of the working
poor
will *never* see a paychek without a deduction for SS.

I understand that there is some equity because benefits for higher income
wage
earners are also capped, but it is inaccurate to say that the rate is the
same
for all workers.
