Stanky, what tax changes would have to be passed to call the republican tax change successful? If they stay as they are, is that failure? I'm retired, living a very drab existance and paying about 10 to 12 percent on what I draw. When I say drab, I don't have fancy vacations, I can buy the wife, kids and grandkids presents, plenty to eat, no new cars and I didn't have to give up anything because of money shortages. For me the current tax system is not killing me. Will the republican changes help me?

The answer is easy, any change that promotes economic activity increases the future viability of Social Security and Medicare. We paid in to the government to take care of our parents and our children and grandchildren are paying in to cover us, with a small savings account to cover what the kids can't cover. The kids need good jobs to cover the bills and an increase in economic activity will help. Of course, the voters could vote for more entitlements and regulations, hike taxes enough that they kill the goose that lays the golden eggs, and we become the green soylent.
