Revenue Bill of 2005

[Siege40]

I would oppose the means-testing imposed by this bill. The people in question have paid into the Social Security System for much of their lives; now, we would suddenly deprive them of what is rightfully and justly theirs.

Thus, I am against this measure.

I agree. It's entirely unfair, while I can see the purpose of the bill, I don't know how overall helpful it would be to the system. Besides, if you made $75000 your last working year, even though you made less than that, doesn't that mean you don't get any social security? If this bill is to continue perhaps a timeframe should be included in this year, i.e. 75000+ over 5 years.

I hereby veto this legislation.

I vetoed the bill because of firstly, the reasons Q raised the ambiguity of no longer having to pay taxes etc., also I am not convinced that this will save money, also the option to exclude people from social programming concerns me. If those who can contribute the most withdraw, how are those who can't contribute as much make the system sustainable, it'll lead to the systems entire collapse in my opinion.

Cool, my first veto.
