So it is MY fault that you are saddled with payroll taxes? I should just forgo my legitimate and legal claim because you asked me to?
Why not direct your ire to all the government deadheads on the payroll? Or the government retirees who get free medical care for life and fat pensions? Why don’t you ask them for relief?
Why is my claim for payment in return for something of value any less legitimate than any other claimants?
Well, actually, I don't want to personalize the discussion at all, but I guess I should tell you that I don't pay any payroll taxes anymore. I have arranged my personal affairs such that none of my income is earned income now. I will be eligible for SS myself soon, but I won't be needing it and don't plan on taking it.
And, no, I'm not asking you to forgo any of your claims. Instead, I'm hoping that the people of this country come to their senses and either adjust your claims consistent with the needs of those who are working in this country or, in the alternative, terminate the program as being unconstitutional from its inception.
I am a realist. I don't expect much to change soon given the glut of voting seniors that we have right now. But, like I said, time is on the side of our younger Americans - unless our seniors can somehow figure out a way to vote their way out of dying.
Tick tock.
