Why can teachers in Tx. be allowed to opt out of Social Security? Want to fix Social Security, no private plans for public employees, all employees in the United States public and private should be in the SS plan.

Why can teachers in Tx. be allowed to opt out of Social Security?

Okay, finished counting to 10. Now, I moved back to Texas specifically to get OFF of the Social Security system and onto the TRS system through teaching school (a thankless job). I did so BECAUSE prior to moving I was working for the Social Security Administration. Need I say more? ANYONE stuck on that crooked system is in for a lot of hurt later on. TRS has its problems, but it is FAR better than SS.
