SS, Medicare, etc is forced upon us. If I had a choice I would opt out of all of it. I have paid the max into SS, meaning my % and since I am self employed, a matching %. Should I not withdraw the over $25,000 a year that I am forced to pay? What would you do?
Children have no inheritance, earn it yourself sparky.
“Children have no inheritance, earn it yourself sparky.”
Thus proving my point. You are a part of the most greedy, self-centered, short-sighted generation in the history of this country. Living for today, and seeing the future. It’s why you sat back and voted GOPe all of these years and did not care about the mass immigration, jobs being shipped overseas, and racial strife. As long as you made money and did not have to deal with the third worlders, you just kept voting GOPe and took that summer vacation and never worried about tomorrow.
Now, you look around, and you’re a stranger in your own country. And you blame...me? A millennial? Congrats on pissing away your children’s inheritance and birth right. I am sure they are thankful and proud of you.
Agreed. Having been forced to pay into social security all these years, I want to collect my share .
We all pay the total cost of social security, the business of having half of it “payed” by the employer is a smoke screen. Change the bookkeeping and add the employer’s portion to the paycheck and then deduct it all and it makes no difference to employer or employee. It is more obvious to those of us who have been self-employed but the truth is it makes no difference.
