Because of Clinton-esque, pandering nonsense like this

Romney also wants to eliminate the Social Security payroll tax for workers over 65.

"I want people who are over 65 to stay in the workforce," he told an audience in Daytona. "They've already paid for Social Security. Why make them keep paying and paying and paying?"

The Social Security proposal would also free businesses from paying their portion of the payroll tax on workers over 65.

Romney did not say how, or whether, he would replenish the payroll tax proceeds that currently flow into the Social Security trust funds.

There are many, many legitimate reasons to rethink the Social Security program, and any number of decent proposals to reform the Ponzi scheme before it goes bankrupt. But this doesn't come close to either one.

It's a bald-faced pander to senior voters...one that might even cause Bill Clinton to blush.
