They should also be tested on how long do you pay social security and Medicare. Can social security, a tax, be taxed again based on your earning more than an allowed limit, and how much is that.
Do people who have never paid into these systems get covered. In other words you pay for someone who didn’t contribute.
The results would be eye opening when they see how long “ Dracula aka Feds” drain your income.....
