In cutting or eliminating Social Security, what people do not realize is that with less income comes less buying power.
That means buying local and supporting local businesses will no longer be a viable option if Amazon, for example, is less expensive.
It also means less money for restaurants, garden and landscaping businesses, etc.
This is not an entitlement, it is a self-funded program paid for through payroll taxes.
Should the threat to Social Security become a reality, expect a lot of business closures, especially in this area.
