#1 Somebody correct me please - but is this tax cut related to Social Security?

#2 Funny they call it a Tax Cur - when its all about reducing the SS "Insurance" payroll deduction withheld by 2% (and the government filling that in with IOUs in advance for you).

I guess calling it a Tax Cut puts to lie the old "Its retirement insurance" claims. Pretty obvious now it is a tax and wealth transfer from earners to retirees.

Congress should call it what it is and stop lying to us (and themselves) and playing book-keeping games with the money.

#3 I know glorious uncle obama has never written a payroll check, but perhaps some of his help could explain how much a pain in the ass a two month extension, or any tax change in-year would be?

#4 HA! Obama is killing both Social Security and the War Powers Act! Think about it, what are the long term ramifications of this "tax cut" and Libya?
