I made a few posts here about a year ago and was so inspired by the conversation that started that I bought a domain and started a web page (with a fellow Koser's help). Eventually, I shut it all down out of discouragement and a feeling that I couldn't really make a difference.
Now that the expiration of the SS tax holiday is again in the media and on the front page of the WhiteHouse website, perhaps it's time to take another look at this idea. If anyone with more political know-how than I have wants to take up the torch, FlatFica domain names are presently available and the FlatFica Sam logo should be available for use (the Flat Stanley creator gave me permission for it to be used for this purpose).
Here it is, in two simple parts.
1. Cut the Social Security FICA rate for both employees and employers, permanently.
2. Remove the Social Security FICA income cap, permanently.
A major Progressive revolution can happen if we rally behind the SIMPLE concept of a FLAT, FAIR, LOW and PRO-BUSINESS Social Security tax for EMPLOYERS and EMPLOYEES. This simple idea can destroy the Wall Street / Republican stranglehold on the economy.
Here’s why the American people would be on fire for this wonky idea...
