Reagan, Clinton and Tip O'Neill were retirement thieves: Demand an End to the Taxation of Social Security Benefits Social Security has been badly cut for many elderly and disabled by the 'reform' for taxing benefits introduced first in '83 by Reagan and Congressional Democrats and then by President Clinton.
