So, regarding the payroll tax, how do we insulate SSA from politics without it? This is the biggest concern of the left. “I guess you’re right on the economics. They are politics all the way through. We put those pay roll contributions there so as to give the contributors a legal, moral, and political right to collect their pensions and their unemployment benefits. With those taxes in there, no damn politician can ever scrap my social security program. Those taxes aren’t a matter of economics, they’re straight politics.” -FDR ssa.gov/history/Gulick.html
