If SS or Medicare is cut....
then I guess I have to follow the sterling example of the rich/well-to-do and start thinking about myself only.

That means the day after SS/Medicare are cut, I pick up the paperwork and change my tax withholding to zero. Not a dime of my paycheck to the government until next April 15. Hey I should get every extra dollars I can right? Besides alittle over $6000 isn't going to break the US.

Even if 100 people of similar income joined me, that would be barely 1/2 a million.

200 people would be needed to cover the 1st million, a thousand of us would be over 6 million.

I wonder how many of the 80%+ of Americans who oppose cuts in SS would be agree enough to fill out a simple slip of paper with me?

1. You'll have to pay interest on the witholding taxes you didn't pay...

And false claims on your W4 may subject you to additional penalties.
