Not a Problem Son.

Here son(that so called free american), let me take that money(Fica/medicare) from you so that you do not waste it. I'll take your money and set it aside(locked box) for your college education(retirement benefits).

Obediently(at gun point, with no choice), the son turns over his money(payroll taxes) to his mother(government nanny) for his best interest(because he is too inept to do it himself). Later, he graduates school and ask mother where will I go to college? Harvard, Yale or Princton?

Mother informs him that she had spent(to study why pigs stink) his college fund(that locked box full of IOU's). But, not a problem, I will go to the bank(China, the communist country) and borrow(on knees begging) the money to pay for your college(retirement), you will have to go to community college( that wopping SS check) and by the way, you children (future taxpayers paying a higher rate and recieving benefits later)will have to repay the note(with interest), but you will get your college education.

This is an accurate account of Social Security. This is your government nanny at work for you. Is there anyone in this universe that thinks this is acceptable?

Many of you will say: I can't do anything about it, why bother with it? Well, yes you can do something about it.

Get out of debt, start saving for your future as if SS/medicare did not exist, because it will not exist in the not so far future. Once you are of the mindset that you do not need the government, you will fight against any further intrusion on your prosperity and freedom. Get off your ass and do something about it.
