Nice post but I disagree about Social Security. I don't want to save it. I want it to end. It's a rip off, a lie, a scheme, and totally against every principle of freedom known to man.

It's my money. I'll do with it as I please. And if I don't prepare for myself when I'm older I'll either have to work until I die or rely on my family or the charity of others. But it's fascism to force compassion upon me with my own money because others don't want to see me begging on the street if I'm dumb enough not to take care of myself when I'm 70 years of age.

No one is going to end Social Security in one fell swoop. If you want it gone, you should support getting part of it into private hands. That's exactly what the President is trying to do, now.

Support the other side, and you're going to have more of the same -- "good and hard" as H.L. Mencken used to say.

AMEN!

They can keep the thousands they have taken from me up to this point(I'm 49)and just stop taking any more and I would SETTLE!
