You can see where this article is going. What these people want it to keep throwing good money after bad into a failing system, instead of giving people the freedom of using their money the way they want.
Myself, I would forgo all the money I have paid into the system if I could be exempt from paying anymore SS taxes.
FARAH STOCKMAN'S Nov. 29 news story about a presidential directive allowing a not-so-covert CIA operation to collect whomever the CIA decided needed collecting and fly them to countries that would torture them for us is further evidence that this president is not fit to represent America to the rest of the world ("Terror suspects' torture claims have Mass. link," Page A1).

How can we, the majority of the American people, possibly sit by and quietly condone such actions? This president is bereft of any human decency or ethical behavior when it comes to engaging with any entity that does not subscribe to his moral values. Where on the scale of moral values does this directive fall? Perhaps we are all consigned to be nothing but a collection of witnesses to the Nero-like destruction by the leader of the world's most powerful nation of every ethical, moral, and spiritual value to which we profess to subscribe. Or will we find a means of rallying ourselves to speak out against such egregious policies? I am looking for a bandwagon to jump on and a tub to thump that will say clearly, "This is not me or my America that would do this." JACK ZETTLER |
Heck, I have a very liberal daughter-in-law who calls it a Ponzi scheme. I think SS would disappear quickly if enough Americans knew what a screwy system it actually is. You have many Americans thinking that it's God's gift from heaven when it's actually money taken from them by the Feds and basically squandered. Liberals just can't get over the prospect that maybe one of their treasured creations is a dinosaur and should be dismantled. What libs create should, according to libs, never be destroyed whether it turns out to be a lemon or not.
