Saving Social Security

* Your March 26 editorial “Guesses Won’t Save Social Security” misses one good point: 85% of Social Security benefits can be taxable at rates all the way up to 39.2% and over 4 million people pay these taxes. This tax revenue goes into the U.S. Treasury general fund. Why not have this tax revenue be returned to the Social Security trust fund to prolong the life of Social Security? Nothing has to change except the destination of these tax revenues.
