Do not know if this parallels the Galveston plan, but here in Massachusetts (yes ultra progressive Massachusetts), state employees,county employees and municipal employees are exempt from Social Security. They are part of a privately managed retirement program that does much better than Social Security.

Funny thing, the folks we pay are not required to participate in the system that we are required to participate in.

Just as Congress will not be members of ObamaCare -- they will keep their gold-plated health care that their employers pay for.

Odd that. The employers are being told by the staff (who are exempt) that they will pay for a superior, top-of-the-line program for the staff and that they (the employers) will be dumped into an unsustainable, economy busting, inferior plan that they MUST buy.
