If Social Security is so great then why has Congress exempted themselves.
If Social Security is so great why have the Teachers Union opted out.
If Social Security is so great then why have certain Federal Workers like the Post Office opted out.
If Social Security is so great then why did Rail Road workers want out.
Listen up folks, cause here's the deal.
Social Security can never go "bankrupt". Because the government can never go "bankrupt".
They have the printing presses and a monopoly on the creation of money.
So what WILL happen is this: They will print all the dollars they need to keep the system going. As many as it takes, and probably a few more.
And all those dollars (we're talking TRILLIONS here, people) will have results: inflation for commodity pricing, declining dollar strength against foreign currencies, further erosion of American sovereignty to international cartels, to name a couple.
So now you know all you need to have a happy retirement.
I think that would be precident enough for any citizen to sue for exemption. Hey, I got an idea, and this is serious, how about a class action against the SS Administration. Shake it to it's core. Take the money currently in it and give it back now!! Yes, some may not get all that they put in, but then again, a 100,000 now could grow to a couple of million in a few years if invested correctly. And right now those types of investments are too numerous to count.
What would it take to initiate a class action against an establishment such as SS? I am not an attorney, so I don't really know.
"...why have certain Federal Workers like the Post Office opted out."
I tell you, that's got a down side. A friend of mine's husband got leukemia (he recovered eventually) but because he worked at the Post Office he had NO disability coverage. He was too sick to work, but not sick enough to retire, so he was stuck for about a year with no income. I suppose what he SHOULD have done long before was purchase an individual disability policy, but I think they are pretty expensive.
your talking about the old civil service. that is gone now.
