Stop the madness!

I am 44 and I am screwed.

I have no wish to pass this insane burden on to my beloved child.I missed the original cuttoff and the subsequent reinstatement of the GI bill.Bad timing on my part.Good lesson on the fact that life is not fair.

Stop taking FICA from anyone under 40 years old.In the interim chaos, do means testing for benefits, but for the sake of future generations, stop the insane lie of the Social Security system now!I am fully aware that this "sacrifice" is not "fair" to people my age and older.But the continuation of this now obscene scheme is not fair to anyone.End it!

Stop taking out the "contribution" and let US have it to invest as WE see fit. Let our money help create NEW wealth! Let us enrich ourselves!

Well said. I just wish there were more voters with your understanding and ethics. As a worker under 30, I'd be more than willing to let the government keep the FICA taxes I've already paid with no expectation of any benefits if I could opt out of this Ponzi scheme.

Just curious, but do you think the GI Bill has anything to do with SS? Or are you just demonstrating something which is "unfair"?
