Mike Kilburn on Social Security
Mike Kilburn, a Warren County Commissioner who is ready to challenge Jean Schmidt (R-OH) for her seat in Congress, recorded the following video on Social Security:
Mike Kilburn: A much bigger problem than healthcare in this country is the financial stability of our Social Security program. Social Security is the program that needs to change. We need to look at the retirement age. We need to look at how we fund Social Security. You know, you only pay Social Security premiums on the first $100,000. You know, anyone making over $100,000 doesn’t pay any premium on that last end of their salary. So if we would revise that, I’m sure we could put Social Security back on a good footing. But we’ve got to get on top of it or people aren’t going to get those benefits they worked so hard and expected to have when they retire.
