Joel:
If I could I would opt out of social security today and forfeit every penny
I have contributed to the system over the past 29 years.  Where else can you
earn a guaranteed negative rate of return on your investment?  As many of
you guys on this list are, I am self employed and pay the other side of the
SS and Medicare taxes every month.  15% is ridiculous.  Is anyone else out
there paying over 50 percent of what they make to the government (when you
add up all the taxes you pay).  You are not, maybe I need to meet your CPA
or tax attorney.  :)

And the really sad thing is what they've been able to buy.  If I were able
to invest that kind of money in something, I'd want better results.  It's
not even doing a very good job of serving its real constituents. <g>
