If people only look their own situations, there are always conplains.
I strongly suggest people to read:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_Security_(United_States)
ask these: Is it tax or insurance? why can the government use the revenue to fill the budget hole? If it is tax, why some income are excluded from this tax, if it is insurance, why there is a top limit on the benefit? Why the society need such a system?
Ask: what is the difference between "equal opportunity" and "equal wealth"? Which way is better? Who benefit from this tax?
I pay respect to WB for he speaks truthfully about his tax. Not a lot of rich guys are willing to reveal. The current taxation system is not fair only to the middle class, as I previously wrote.
