The trust funds (like Social Security and federal pensions) belong to and have been paid for by US citizens. Face it, only the working class will be targeted. I wish the red dummies could see that an exchange of working class money for tax breaks and largess for the rich is at hand. Someone has to pick up the slack for the missing revenue. And, no, Musk's cover is a ruse to make people believe they will not pay but fraudsters will pay.
