I’m not sure. But when I paid in, I was 25%. So yeah I was at the trough. Now it’s medicare and the blue shield I still pay about 25%.
So I’m benefitting about 75% on the payments. The cost: I wrestled 19 year old weightlifters and had the heart attack, was in the middle of a few riots. Add that to my part of the payments, but I’m sure I’m still ahead.
And yes, I was not forced to take the job. And many wouldn’t.
I’m not sure either. I thought slavery was abolished, yet I am forced to work for others.
On a separate note, are you morphing toward or away from libertarianism?
