It has to have a payroll tax that's dedicated to Social Security. The Social Security tax has been very successful over the years in raising almost all of our elderly citizens out of poverty.

Social Security is not just another government spending program. It is a promise from generation to generation.

The money that goes into Social Security is not the government's money. it's your money. You paid for it.

The 1993 Social Security tax penalizes seniors who have planned for their retirement through savings, investment and hard work. That's wrong, and that's why the double tax on Social Security must end.

Currently, 94 out of 100 of us pay the Social Security tax all year round.

Well, let's go back to the original intent of Social Security. It is an insurance contract.

Social Security is not broke, and Social Security does not need to be privatized.

Social Security is the very foundation of retirement security for millions of Americans.

Social Security is not just the foundation of America's retirement dignity and security, it ensures the economic stability and strength of our families and our state's economy.

What's lost in this whole debate, unfortunately, is that Social Security is not a giveaway where we take money to give to other people. It's a contract with the government... that's worked for 75 years. It's the most successful government program that we've ever had.
