This is really one of those click the link and read the whole thing pieces, but in case you were wondering: Carol Shea-Porter is firmly against raising the retirement age on Social Security:
"If you started working at 18 and worked 50 years, you might be a little tired," Shea-Porter said. "That's no time to say 'Oh, by the way, we want you to keep working another five years.'"
Take that, Catfood Commission:
Currently, taxpayers pay into Social Security on each dollar they earn up to $106,800. Shea-Porter suggested, however, that the cap be removed and taxpayers who earn more than that amount continue to pay into the program on earnings above $106,800.
..."If we did that, we could fix a huge part of this problem," Shea-Porter said.
And in case you missed it, btw, this article is a must read for the prevailing SS myths out there.
Of course, if we don't fight hard for Carol, we could have any number of SS privateers waiting to represent the first district.
