Everyone want to know how to fix social security.  Start a bill that says all congress men and state senators pay into social security and that would be thier retirement plan.  Because the plan they have now when they retire they get the same pay as when there were in the senate or congress.  If they die their spouse gets it and guess who pays for their plan we do the american tax payers. This should piss off everyone. We need to vote in new congress and senate every year they don't get a bill like this signed into law.

Ok so I was wrong about the social security taxes they have been paying since 1984 or 1983 but they only pay 1.3% of their salary into their retirement fund.
