At the same time, businessmen will find their business increased well beyond the increase in wages and OASDI payments they're responsible for. No one has ever called for a roll back of the minimum wage except Republican blowhards who have never been in the position of having to pay it.
When people start to see the multiplier effect of money at the bottom, maybe we'll get more enthusiasm for a progressive tax structure to hit the wasted money at the top.
I would rather support Social Security from the bottom and benefit the many at the same time rather than try to support it at the top and making the few even more hostile to it than they are now.
