I get it now;
Raising taxes on our paychecks decreases job opportunities because bosses have to pay for half of the 12.6% that goes towards social security.
It's harder to keep us employed if our employer can't afford the higher tax rate, so they end up having fewer workers to make-up the cost - typically, the part-time, short-term, entry-level positions, US!
So, raising the payroll tax to cover SS benefits ruins our standard of living and makes it that much harder to even find a job.
