How to kill Social Security, with a smile

Conservatives never much liked Social Security. It’s a wildly popular government program that’s totally solvent until 2033. It will be easily fixable and by then may not need fixing at all. Doesn’t quite fit with the government-can’t-do-anything-right talking point. Then there’s the Social Security Trust Fund, a nice hunk of change invested in Treasury securities that some conservatives don’t want to pay back. The trust fund represents payroll taxes collected from workers and employers — taxes raised a quarter century ago to provide a cushion against the predicted stresses of an aging population. The Who’s afraid of the fiscal cliff? money in the trust fund was loaned, not given, to FROMA the federal government. Were the average Republican extortion.

It’s bad because Social Security is an earned benefit. You can’t easily take away something people know they’ve paid for. So here’s the work-around: It makes no sense, writes conservative Ross Douthat, “to finance our retirement system with a tax that ... imposes particular burdens on small business and the working class.” How liberal sounding. How sneaky. Start paying for Social Security out of general revenues and reduce benefits for the wealthy, and what do you have? You have welfare. You know what happens to welfare. Douthat breaks from liberal sweet-talk and gets down to basics. He urges Republicans to regard the payroll tax as “an obstacle — origi- nally created by their political enemies! — to any restraint in what the program spends.” Actually,the law forbids Social Security to take a single penny from general revenues. I can’t think of a better spending restraint than that. But the payroll tax is definitely a political restraint on plans to steal the trust fund. By the way, we already have a system for means-testing. It’s called the progressive income tax. If conservatives think rich people should pay more, they can simply let marginal tax rates (and the capital gains tax rate) rise. Complicating Social Security with more means-testing and ending the tax dedicated to keeping it afloat would kill the program — with a smile. On to Plan C. C M C M Y K Y K
