I believe we must provide Social Security to all, especially to those older
persons who through inequities of nature, geographical location, educational
opportunities, prejudice, cultural bias, or health, have not been able to
access the growing wealth of America. We need to fund a solid base for
Social Security from our General Tax funds as do many less wealthy countries.
Then add the monies from employment taxes to that. This will recognize that
fate and happenstance do create inequities and it is an American value to
respect and support all our citizens with a system that will be just and
fair, even as it is unequal in its distribution of Social Security funds.
