I'd personally like to see the tax reform be issued prior to any welfare reform.

I think this is the smart move as well

tax gifts to the wealthy.

You people lose all crediblity when you say letting people keep more of their money is a "gift", but it's not a gift when like 30% of households pay NOTHING for the military, roads, and police protection they use, and it's not a gift when people get back more than they receive through the EITC

Yep. Piece by piece rather than all at once.

Social Security benefits are already taxed.


They'll be taxed even more, or cut, but something like that will happen.

I made over $100K in 2014. In 2016, my medicare costed $100 more and my socialist security went down over $100 too.
I am totally ok with it. its called means testing.

One way to pay for socialist security is to tax all forms of income for people who are receiving socialist security. That means your stock coupons. If you don't like it, don't collect that year.

in any case, there are a lot of things you can do if you don't buy into the adolescent arguments. For example, you can tax the 7.5% socialist security tax on ALL income or you can raise the limit from its current level (about $125K) to $250K.

What flavor of outrage will the left have served up for this tomorrow?

Hypocracy? Broken promises? Help me out because I know it'll be something negative.
