Interesting. But I don't get why we can't choose to opt out of it entirely if we wish. It is pure tyranny to force a citizen to particpate in a socialistic program. Our founding fathers would be rolling in their graves.
As Thomas Jefferson said:
From time to time, the tree of liberty must be watered with the blood of tyrants and patriots.
The reason is because it's a house of cards, and you, I, and all of the other current payees form the foundation of that house. Without our current payments, the system collapses.
