Just as I thought.

Are you ignorant of the fact that Social Security is a pyramid scheme built by FDR as a revenue grab during the Great Depression and that it has only been preserved as a net revenue gain to government thus far by continually pushing back the date at which disbursement can begin and time and again raising the taxation rate to fund it? Are you further ignorant of the fact this pyramid scheme is just a few years away from running into a demographic time bomb?

George Will summed up the problem nicely: "When you turned the page on the calendar Wednesday night, the first page of 2004 should have had printed -- in large letters, in red ink -- this insomnia-producing warning: "DEMOGRAPHY IS DESTINY AND IT IS NOW JUST FOUR YEARS BEFORE THE DEMOGRAPHIC DELUGE -- THE BEGINNING OF THE RETIREMENT OF 77 MILLION BABY BOOMERS.""

"The baby boom generation is twice as large as the generation it follows and 50 percent larger than the one that is following it."

Maybe math isn't your strongsuit, but methinks you haven't given it any thought whatsoever...
