I want a refund if they touch either. I have been paying into these programs since I was 16. I always declared and paid my self employment taxes, and never over estimated refunds. This is BS. These old dudes in congress are so out of touch with reality that they believe that everyone has an employer funded retirement fund. Think again. My employer stopped matching contributions to my 401K almost 9 years ago, around the time pay increases stopped. We don’t have a pension plan, and we do not have any other “fall backs.” I am counting on having Social Security so I can survive and not work until I fall into my grave.
