"Poll: Make wealthy bolster Social Security"::

Wealthier Americans should take the hit to bolster Social Security, according to a new CNN/USA Today/Gallup poll conducted over the weekend and released Tuesday.

More than two-thirds of 1,010 adults contacted between Feb. 4 and Feb. 6 said it would be a 'good idea' to limit benefits for wealthier retirees and to make higher income workers pay Social Security taxes on all their wages. Currently, all workers pay the tax on the first $90,000 in wages.

...Meanwhile, 55 percent think President Bush's proposal to allow future wage-earners to invest some of their Social Security taxes in private investment accounts is a "bad idea."

...But 64 percent agree with the president that the system will be "bankrupt" by 2042 if major changes aren't made.

So most people are actually believing Bush's lies about social security, but they still don't think his proposal is a good idea and a large majority endorse raising taxes for the wealthiest Americans instead. What sort of Communist country are we living in?
