I was referring to federal income taxes.  Social Security goes up
each year because it is tied to cost of living.  Let's face it, if
it weren't such a hot potato, Reagan would cut Social Security and
any other non-defense item.  However, Reagan and most Democrats and
Republicans won't push this too hard.  It's not good politics.  

Incidentally, I'm not a Reagan fan.  In fact, I'm very opposed to
most of his policies.  The intent of my previous letter was to
take Mr. Lipiano to task for his complete lack of appreciation for
such programs as Social Security and Medicaid.  These programs were
instituted not for selfish reasons, but because there was and is
a real social need for them.  Unfortunately, their architects did
not anticipate the problems they face now.
