Poll question: Will cuts to payroll tax later be used as evidence Social Security benefits need to be cut?
Advertisements [?]
In principle, I'm not opposed to the payroll tax holiday for employees and businesses, but since Wall Street has such a hard on for ending Social Security and getting their hands on that trust fund, it seems more likely that cutting the payroll tax will more likely be used as an excuse to cut benefits rather than the rate being restored or changes made to strengthen it like lifting the cap as Bernie Sanders proposed.

I wonder what other people think though.
