• Food Stamps are Hurting Our Kids
    The food stamp program currently allows parents to purchase harmful items such as sodas, candies, chips, and other substances that serve no nutritional purpose and consume a large percentage of their cash benefit. These items also promote obesity in children and can even lead to childhood diabetes. Although I believe in helping others who are hungry, we need to do it in a way that actually helps our citizens and maximizes the tax dollars given to food relief.

  • Fix Social Security by saving more
    Social Security will run low on funds (though not as fast as fear-mongers state). To balance it requires either cutting benefits (including raising the retirement age) OR putting more money in. I'm in favor of raising the tax about 1% for employees and employers, so that benefits ARE NOT CUT AND THE SYSTEM REMAINS SOLVENT. If you survey 50 and 60 year olds I'd bet overwhelmingly they are glad they paid into Soc. Security and good benefits are coming. Do this and all the current 20 and 30 somethings will be glad when they reach 50 or 60.

  • Social Security
    We've recently heard from folks who are outraged that Congress and President Obama are considering cutting Social Security benefits for current and future retirees. Social Security does not add to the deficit and should be off the table on any fiscal deal.

  • Discrimination in Social Security taxes
    Working Americans pay 13.1% of their earnings up to $110,100 in social security and medicare taxes. Those making more than that pay progressively less, so that a person earning $1,000,000 pays .01%. All Americans should be concerned about this gross tax discrimination, and our laws should be changed so that every American pays the same percentage of his or her income for Social Security.
