We are a very docile people who allow the government to favor the rich and the corporations, that were given personhood by the Supreme Court, which together are using our tax money for their own benefit. American workers must pay excess taxes for Social Security. Those surpluses are used to pay for a big chunk of the U.S. deficits caused by the conditions noted by CenTexDem. I think it is time to ask why Social Security is expected to be funded for 75 years ahead when Big business and their rich stock holders are given tax cuts, exemptions, and benefits that create deficits and postpone the enevitable cost of paying for the Bush wars and deficits. The government could use that money to revive the economy by building the infrastructure necessary to create renewable energy systems and prepare this country for the day when oil production stalls out. The government could invest to build and repair highways, bridges, and schools, and to insure that young Americans will have the skills that they will need to survive in tomorrow's economy. We are all in this mess together but we do not all share equally in the opportunities that are created by being Americans.
