Do you really believe you're going to get a business leader actually come out and say in public that Social Security has to end because they no longer wish to pay the payroll tax?

Once again, the employee - not the employer - pays the social security tax.

Actually they both pay, not that it matters... since if neither did they'd be forced to make up the difference anyway so people could save for retirement.

Er... the payroll tax, I mean. The employer does matching contributions, correct? Regardless, yeah, they figure that into the cost of hiring someone, and if there wasn't the (very probably false) promise of social security, they'd have to either pay more or have their own retirement program. Basically, the employer isn't going to end up pocketing anything.
