reform entitlement programs, specifically social security. More people are getting hurt by social security not helped.

With social security tax rates increasing on employees, employers, and self-employed workers there is a lesser rate of benefits than what social security applicants are paying in their taxes. In other words more money is being put into social security than returned and Americans are actually losing money. The government is abusing the social security tax to acquire more money and leave social security I.O.U's. This is theft, and this once great program that would act as an investment rather than a ponzi scheme , is hurting Americans now and will continue to in the future. Washington needs to shape up and not only purpose a plan to reform social security but also act upon it as soon as possible.
