12. When taxes have to be increased to repay the SS Trust in ten?
years elected officials will try and blame it on the SS system instead of other expenditures.

They will try and collect the money from the average person, once again, and attempt to pit the young against the old. I doubt most young people know how much taxes were increased during the 80's and 90's to create the trust fund.

For me that is the reason we should not easily forget the 2 to 3 Trillion in extra taxes paid and being paid by the working people, although I do understand your points.
