Please state your position on the Social Security system.
My position is that I've paid into Social Security for more than 25 plus years and I prefer that the government not abscound with my money. They already do plenty of that by subtracting 30% in taxes in addition to Social Security.
If some way were offered to extract my money, my employer's money and interest GUARANTEED, I would not be opposed to some other plan as long as I had control of it and not the government. Provided Congress is watched VERY closely so nothing is tacked on to divert my money or someone else's elsewhere when the plan got made into law.
I simply don't trust politicians with money.
That is my position.
How is it fair to anyone who has paid in for many years to have the government just grab the money and run? No matter how they wrap their little plans up in white linen (and this goes for BOTH parties), that's exactly what I see them trying to do every time they discuss Social Security. So, if you want to reform it, give me my money now so I can do what I want to with it, then reform away. Don't expect me to just write off the cash I've been FORCED to contribute over the years.
