An extension of the payroll tax holiday -- especially without
replacing funding withheld from the Social SecurityTrust Fund -- is
a very bad public policy even if it may be good election year
politics. We believe that there are betterways to provide tax
relief to middle class and working families than jeopardizing the
solvency of the Social SecurityTrust fund,Natl Gray Panthers. Go to
www.graypanthers.org to take action on the payroll tax holiday.
