The SS taxes at that time only applied to the top 10% in income. The problem is that Congress never increased the income thresholds and now taxes apply to the top 60% in income.
To b fair howard zinn blames tax cuts on democrats too back then.

Reagan was bad he precided over savings and loans fraud, only reason it didnt blow up bc bush sr let regulators do their jobs. woulda had financial crisis in the 90s if bush sr was like reagan

You do understand that SS was going broke and this was a bipartisan deal to fix it? The marginal tax rates had nothing to do with it. We had sky high rates for the 10 year previous time-frame the plan was in trouble.
He doesn’t know that
