Clinton to AARP; untouched Social Security, higher taxes

Wall Street Journal’s Jackie Calmes reports that Hillary Clinton, while speaking to that lying, criminal group of insurance salesmen called AARP, promised to maintain the Social Security status quo – but promised to raise payroll taxes;

Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton told an AARP convention that, as president, she would move quickly to fix Social Security’s long-term finances, but that cutting benefits or raising the eligibility age would be “off the table.” That would leave only higher payroll taxes as a solution. 

You know those elderly thugs of that lying, thieving group of insurance salesmen calling itself AARP just applauded their dusty asses off when Hillary promised to raise taxes on the younger people to transfer the wealth from one generation to the next. Apparently the Demcrats are back to dividing the country into interest groups and pledged to pitting one group against the other.

A reasonable person might ask Hillary if she’s so concerned about retirees then why did her husband raise the taxable portion of Social Security benefits from 50% to 85% in the 1993 tax increase – and ask her what she’s going to do about that. That’s double taxation on those benefits, since the money was taxed once when it was earned by the beneficiary and then again as it’s returned to the beneficiary.

Higher taxes always seem to be the solution for that crowd – maybe because they’re too intellectually vacant to solve the problem at which they want to throw my money.
