The Republicans have skillfully been playing
Brer Rabbit,
regarding Obama's policies
to fool the public!
When the president mentioned Cap and Trade,
When the president mentioned subsidies for nuclear energy
and now with the American Jobs Act,
they send their propagandists out on HDTV, cable and radio to cry
"Please Brer Bear, don;t throw me in the briar patch"
As Brer rabbit knew that was to his advantage, the above policies benefited the benefactors of the republican party,
Big Time;
Now with the American Jobs Act, the pretend to hate it,
while loving the aspects that harm Medicaid, the tax breaks for corporations,
and the trade deals with South Korea, Colombia and the Philippines
 
The Republicans cry and cry and cry that they don't want the payroll tax cut but they realy do and here is why

Payroll Tax Cut Raises Worries about Social Security’s Future Funding

by Jia Lynn Yang
By extending the payroll tax cut, Congress and the administration have quietly made a critical change in how Social Security is funded — one that some in Washington worry could undermine the program’s foundation if lawmakers keep renewing the tax break.

Since the entitlement program’s inception in 1935, many changes to Social Security have been enacted or attempted. For the first time in the program’s history, tens of billions of dollars from the government’s general pool of revenue are being funneled to the Social Security trust fund to make up for the revenue lost to the tax cut. Roughly $110 billion will be automatically shifted from the Treasury to the trust fund to cover this year’s cut, according to the Social Security Board of Trustees. An additional $19 billion, it is estimated, will be necessary to pay for the two-month extension.
The tax cut is supposed to be temporary. But as squabbles over this issue and the Bush tax cuts have revealed, short-term tax cuts in Washington have a way of sticking around longer than planned, especially as economic growth remains slow and lawmakers are wary of raising anyone’s tax bill.
The prospect of policymakers continually turning to the payroll tax as a way of providing economic stimulus troubles experts, some lawmakers and both public trustees of the Social Security trust fund. Their concern: that Social Security will lose its status as a protected benefit owed to every working American and instead become politically vulnerable, just like any other government program.

Good but out of 34 million of us, who would say that?

Those who seek not to be this:

PAUPER. One so poor that he must be supported at the public expense. (source)

When you do group management of assets, such as Social Security, there becomes more people who only seek to ride the wagon rather than pull it.
