Allen W. Smith has been a "voice crying in the wilderness" for more than three decades. During that entire period, he has been battling economic illiteracy and government economic malpractice. For the past decade, he has been on a relentless crusade to alert the public to the fact that every dollar of the $2.5 trillion in surplus Social Security revenue, generated by the 1983 payroll tax hike, has been "borrowed" or "stolen" by the government and used to finance tax cuts, wars, and other government programs. Dr. Smith is the author of seven books, and he has appeared on CNN, CNNfn, CNBC, and more than 170 radio talk shows.
