There is a misconception floating in here and elsewhere that social security and welfare are the same thing. They are not. OP stated the citizen's wage would eliminate welfare, and the crying about who gets welfare since everyone would get the wage. It would not eliminate social security. On that front, I would keep the social security tax at the rate it is, but eliminate the wage cap. If you made $15 million a year you would pay the same social security tax rate on every dollar of earnings as the person who made $15,000.
JOHN ROBERTS: From time to time in the years to come, I hope you will be treated unfairly so that you will come to know the value of justice... I wish you bad luck, again, from time to time so that you will be conscious of the role of chance in life and understand that your success is not completely deserved and that the failure of others is not completely deserved either.
