The looting of social security

the long version

"Allen W. Smith offers a brief history of Social Security, from its inception in 1935 to the present, including the enactment of the crucial 1983 Social Security tax increase. Then step by outrageous step, he details how the governments's promise to the American people - a pledge to never spend the Social Security Trust Fund - has been broken time and again. Most recently, Smith shows how George W. Bush has pillaged the Trust Fund like no president before him and used the Social Security taxes paid by working Americans to fund a series of huge tax cuts benefiting the wealthiest among us."--Jacket.
