    My story is the same, the increase in social security taxes gave   
    the Reagan administration more money to spend. BTW, the   
    accelerated taxe increases were rate increases. Those particular   
    increases only benefited the Reagan administration.   
      
    That is the point you are spinning madly to avoid addressing.   
    Reagan's people pushed social security tax increases to give   
    them more money to spend without raising income taxes.
