Fair taxing on corporations?

How we ever got to the notion that taking away social security from people who worked their entire lives and payed into it and depend on it to stay housed and fed is better than taxing the top 5% at the same rate they were being taxed during the Clinton administration is beyond me. The richest Americans have gained the most from this country. Very few of them worked for it, and those who have, including Warren Buffett, agree that these tax rates are too low.
