It's Time to Roll Back Reagan's Middle-Class Tax Increases!
 Most Americans don't realize Reagan put a tax on income from Social Security, unemployment benefits and tips. It's time for some middle-class tax breaks. Reagan did such a great job selling tax cuts as a good thing that now Democrats should pick up some of that slack. The money you receive when you retire or become disabled and begin to draw Social Security is money that you already paid in, in large part, through your working life. Therefore, when Franklin Roosevelt passed the Social Security act in 1935, the money people got from Social Security was not taxable and not even tracked by the IRS.

Republicans Only Offer Faux Outrage While Progressive Democrats are Getting Things Done

Letter: " to Edgar Newton Eisenhower" by Dwight D. Eisenhower, November 8, 1954. " Should any political party attempt to abolish social security ... Their number is negligible and they are stupid" Quote: " The Nixon campaign in 1968, and the Nixon White House after that, had two enemies: the anti-war left and black people. We knew we couldn't make it illegal to be either against the war or black, but by getting people to associate the hippies with marijuana and blacks with heroin, and then criminalizing both heavily, we could disrupt those communities. We could arrest their leaders, break up their homes, break up their meetings, and vilify them night after night on the evening news. Did we know we were lying about the drugs?
