I have successfully resolved Social Security’s long term funding problem in a politically more acceptable way: I have lowered taxes! My tax reform plan also creates and fully funds National Health Care and expands public education to include college, free of charge.. Please read my press release. Thank you.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Los Angeles, CA – The publication of Fishman’s Framework for Tax Reform heralds the introduction of the tax reform plan that will save our middle class. This revolutionary tax reform plan lowers taxes for individuals and corporations yet raises almost $1 trillion dollars more revenue than our current tax system.

The additional revenue solves Social Security’s long term funding problem, creates and fully funds National Health and expands public education to include college, free of charge. It does all this and more while running a budget surplus.

Fishman’s Framework for Tax Reform is also the most comprehensive economic growth and stimulus plan ever proposed. The tax plan itself is only 17 pages long and comes with 40 pages of commentary, specific tax revenue estimates and five year budget projections. Additionally, there are seven appendices that prove that his tax reform plan lowers taxes and funds all government programs while running a budget surplus.

Fishman’s Framework for Tax Reform is now available to read free of charge at: http://www.serioustaxreform.com

I too have been “paying into the system” since age 16. Social security is an entitlement program. Go back to the 1937 Supreme Court decision and read it. There are *no* individual accounts, like the government wants you to believe. Collection of social security taxes is simply an exercise of the general taxation powers of Congress and the money can be spent for any constitutionally authorized purpose. Uncle Skunk wants you to believe that you have an individual social security “account”, like some demand-deposit account. This lie has been spread for over 60 years, but it just ain’t so. Read Helvering :vs: Davis.

Monies collected under the socialist insecurity taxes are not earmarked *in any way*. (The court’s words, not mine.) Please educate yourselves about this massive and continuing theft. Social Security has no Trust Fund. It’s just a bunch of IOU’s that get rolled over into more IOU’s.

American CITIZENS need to WAKE UP! STOP voting for the Lesser of two evils, stop promoting MORE failed policies and FAILED/FLAWED candidates! Some voters are only interested in their political party winning the White House, NOT necessarily the BEST candidate!

The GOP is FLAWED from the top down, i.e. the Nevada GOP closing down the delegate nomination when they discovered that Ron Paul delegates would win the majority! WHAT CRAP! Our government is CORRUPT from the top on down to the state and local levels where the political parties are concerned!

WE WANT A REAL CHOICE, not the THREE STOOGES currently put forward by their parties; they are ALL backed and supported by Rockefeller’s One World Government think tank, Council on Foreign Relations!

America is in CRITICAL CONDITION! We NEED a DOCTOR, NOT ANOTHER CFR owned candidate!

Dr. RON PAUL is our ONLY REAL CHOICE for the FREEDOMS and LIBERTIES our armed forces are fighting and dying for right now! That is why they support him OVERWHELMINGLY over the 3 Stooges being shoved down our collective throats! Why is the GOP so afraid of one man?

You people are all nuts! Our government has total control over EVERYTHING in this country…FREE??? I think not. I am one of those people who have worked since the age of 16, contributing to the social security system with little or no opportunity to recoup any of it (the way things look now) If all that money had been put into savings accounts or cd’s I wouldnt have a thing to worry about..as it stands I may barely make ends meet when I retire (If that ever happens) and the possibility of that isnt very likely until the age of maybe 90…lets hope and pray I stay healthy enough to see that happen. In the meantime I scrape as much as possible into an IRA that may at least help a little…and that I have TOTAL control over.

Thanks for the article. It makes the situation very clear.

The ‘other’ answer is to elect Ron Paul for President, GOP or third party, and let him get to work fixing things, already.

Once again, the only candidate truly addressing the timely issues, is Ron Paul. The media needs to lift the “ban” on Ron Paul. If America is ever to recover, it will take more than a pretty face or smooth talk. Come on America, this is your chance to support a candidate that is for the people.

Just as with the illegal immigration problem, it’s a case of denial. These candidates, having been in government for decades, are the ones who intentionally failed to enforce immigration laws. Now they say they are broken while they attempt to run various end arounds and make the illegal immigrants disappear by granting them amnesty disguised as reform. They are also the same people who have spent Social Security trust funds, or just given them away, replacing them with government bonds that don’t even keep pace with inflation.

Being faced with the concept of having broken the law, robbed the bank, spent all the money and being called on to somehow make amends, is very perplexing. The money was/is not theirs to give but they continue to give it. Their denial was most recently and graphically demonstrated by giving the Egyptians $23,000,000 to build a border fence.
