If you are a multimillionare you will pay taxes on your earnings like every one else. Lower wage earners still have taxes withheld that they do not recieve a refund on until a year is up. The government uses this money. Legislation should be passed to make Social Security a hands off item. When Roosevelt signed Social Security into law Republican lawmakers and party members fought it villified it and called it the doom of America. Funny how it has worked out. If a person is Unemployed through no fault of their own----such as the Coal Miner they should be entitled to unemployment benifits. If a person is lying about their work search and are caught no more benefits.

You need to leave Unemployment benefits off your list. I could do a full explanation; however, just take my word.
As to Social Security, had the fund not been raided, it would not be an issue. The Congress, both sides, simply could not abide having the money sitting there.
You fail to take into account the "top wage earners" already pay approximately 85% of ALL tax revenue. How much more is enough for you?
