Arizona Republic letter to the editor on Social Security makes sense: tax the rich equally
CEO’s tax break shorts Social Security
Social Security should not be placed on the cutting board by either of our political parties. Presently, Social Security is in the black with $2.6 trillion.
Even with the demands that Baby Boomers will place on Social Security is extremely simple.

The average American worker has always paid the full Social Security tax. Therefore, the CEOs of large corporations who average $11 million should pay the tax on the entire amount and not just the first $106,000.
