>or opt not to buy it at all.

The problem with opting out of Social Security is that I would be sure I provided for my future and I will assume that you would too. But what would we do with those who opted for a Cadillac Escalade instead? When they got to retirement age and started screaming that they could no longer do the work they once did, who would support them? You and me, that's who.

This whole social security system stinks and it needs to be fixed but we can't fix it by telling those of us who have been trapped in it for 20 or 30 years that they are not going to get what has been taken from them, plus interest.

The democRATS will scream a blue streak about this but they are liars. I might trust a Republican administration to find the tax cuts elsewhere but I would never trust the RATS to fix anything.

Well we could go back to the old system where granparents lived at homee with their children

So you are going to support them one way ( SS taxes)or another( living at home with you) unless you set your parents or grandparents out on an iceflow
