Social Security tax is ruinious

[RagJohn]

The earliest recipients never paid into it at ALL, making it an outright theft from the productive. I've read that the average person drawing SS and Medicare uses up all the $ he put into it in a very few years. If we all just made prudent investments with that 15% of our annual income that is stolen by SS, we could end up with a LOT more $ and services than gov't gives us when we retire!. If you DON'T/CAN'T so invest, you dont deserve retirement. Perish in and of your own void, as Nature intends for you to, that's all. You've been found unfit, and you should suffer the consequences. The unfit pollute the gene pool. You can dislike that fact all you want, it's still a fact.
