[QUOTE="klein, post: 802510, member: 23950"] More, I won't even go to that link. You know why ? Because those tax cuts could have gone to reboost the Social Security bennies. Just like the US, Canada has some people who don't put money aside for retirement. Some reley only on a government pension. And that is not enough to survive on. Face it, some people just don't care about the future, and that's why it comes in handy if the governments basically force you to save for SS (by taking more from your paycheck). If SS does run out, the poor will still be subsidized thru housing, food stamps, and pocket money, and the others will just need to pay even more taxes for them ! I understand you are retired More, and you are receiving SS, others in the future will get very little of it, if any. In 24 years (2035) it's all gone, if nothing is done ! Are a few dollars taxbreak per week, worth more then losing SS ? I agree, some won't need SS, but they will still need to pay for those that do need it, somehow. Unless, ofcourse we will see TV shows displaying starving elderly Americans in America on TV, instead of the starving children in African Nations we see today trying to raise money. [/QUOTE]
