Subject: taxing benefits

Comment: That is just what the middle class needs - another tax! I am already struggling under the weight of state and federal taxes. Now pile on social security and Medicare taxes and my family can barely pay our bills, and both parents work FULL TIME. The Federal Government is shifting the burden onto the hardest workers in our society. I have a better idea. Tighten our borders and get rid of the illegal immigrants in this country who are siphoning benefits at the expense of the tax payer.
