Social Security is darn near communist. You are not paying into your own retirement. You are paying benefits to the generation that came before you and of course the cripples in your own generation. the younger generation that you expect to pay your "benefits" weren't party to that agreement and now know the system will be broke when it is their turn. When they get numerous enough compared to us boomers (we're dying out) they will lean on the politicians to cut you off. You don't have an account you paid into.


Patriotism (and religion) is the last refuge of a scoundrel.
