But that nest of vipers sunk their fangs into us and acquired power and developed a dependency state. I am about 4 years from retirement age and my children will have to make a choice....to pay or put in politicians who will reverse this dastardly deed. I don't want my children to be enslaved by the government to the tune of 82% (some say) of their earnings, just to keep the social security system afloat. It is past time for a tea party again.
They won't pay 82% of their earnings - they'll just pay 15% of their $2.3 million lower-middle-class paychecks in order to provide the retirees with the agreed-upon $20,000 a year.
