Why perish the thought! < /sarcasm>
Read the article I linked to in #65.
Opting out of SS ended shortly after this happened, under Ronald Reagan.
Many people think RR proposed ending opting out, but it was the 'RAT' controlled House and Senate that proposed ending it, RR didn't have line-item veto to remove that little gem hidden away in legislation and was forced to sign it, thus ending anyone/thing from opting out.
How Galveston Opted Out of Social SecurityOh, yeah. I saw an article about that not long ago here on FR.
Thanks.
