That must be one big bank account they have hidden away somewhere.

2. They are talking about passing a law that means test social security. Basically this means that if have more than whatever their specified amount is in net worth you will not be able to draw it even though you paid into it.

Which is the "I'm all right Jack so fuck you attitude."
The Government does
NOT I will repeat that for those who can't understand it.
NOT keep your money. In fact it does the opposite. It borrows vast amounts to keep you in the luxury you're used to.
Yes Politicians usually retire richer than they went into office. But not to the tune of of billions that you're talking about.
Taxes are not covering Americas bills, so they have to borrow more or not pay someone, which means people lose jobs. Here's how it works. The money that goes into the Government trickles down to you. They don't keep it, they spend it, in fact they spend too much.
Now then if you want to stop money going into the Government, tell us who should lose their jobs to pay for your cut in taxes. Or would you prefer your Great Grandchildren to be paying off your debts?
Think your reply through, because it's easy to show the effects of cuts, look around at the world and see.
