The following is cross-posted at www.atr.org:
There has been a lot of talk about various ideas to set up bipartisan reform commissions to address our fiscal problems. However, as we have been pointing out, not all commission proposals are good ones. In fact, some of them would be extremely damaging if implemented.
In order to help you discern which commission proposal is pro-taxpayer, and which one is not, we have put together a brief comparative analysis of six different proposals that have been floated. Click here to view the chart.

As a 55 year old baby boomer who has paid into SS & medicare I believe the programs as successful if Cingress had not used the past surpluses to fund spending on pet projects and Tax cuts. In order to rectify the situation spending cuts (Military Contractors and medicare cheats!) and yes TAX increases on those most able to pay MUST be on the table.
