Summary
A leading economist provides a revealing analysis of George W. Bush's removal of more than $3 trillion from the Social Security Trust Fund to fund tax cuts for wealthy Americans, tracing the history of Social Security from 1935 to the present and discsusing the Bush administration's fiscal mismanagement and deception. Original.
Amazon.com description: Product Description:
Every cent generated by the 1983 Social Security tax increaseâmoney ostensibly earmarked and saved for the retirement of the baby-boom generationâis gone, spent by our government. But most Americans are ignorant of the crime. The emptying of the Social Security Trust Fund is the greatest fraud ever perpetrated on the American public, and acclaimed author and economist Allen W. Smith reveals how George W. Bush and Congress are pulling it off. While George W. Bush has repeatedly condemned âcorporate wrongdoers,â he is guilty of fiscal mismanagement and outright deception that makes Enron and WorldCom pale in comparison. Smith explains the history of Social Security from its inception in 1935 to the present, including the enactment of the 1983 Social Security tax increase. Then, step by appalling step, he details how the governmentâs promise to the American peopleâa pledge to never spend the Social Security fundsâwas broken by every succeeding administration. Sadly, The Looting of Social Security quite simply reveals how George W. Bush has stolen more than $3 trillion of Social Security money to fund tax cuts for wealthy Americans while robbing many of their hard earned money and their rights.
