Not to jump on Lonsberry, but I know he is LDS, and he is not complaining about the tithe he pays. It is higher than he has paid in SS.

In what universe is a tithe (10%) greater than SS payments which are in excess of 12%?

It is unbelievable the responses I have received on this thread.

Apparently, everybody pays Social Security but nobody knows exactly how much comes out of their check. The social security rate is 6.2%, and the employer matches that. Do you REALLY think your employer is going to GIVE you his portion? Be glad he has to pay it to your account.

And besides, I was talking about Lonsberry’s complaint as to how SS screwed up his life, not about social security its self.
