Take a flying leap off the nearest skyscraper, Yarrow. I'm retiring the day I turn 62, and I'd retire sooner if your beloved liberals weren't stealing so much of my income. You are not entitled to my labor, and I am not morally obligated to work to support your socialist nanny state.

Bravo!!!! and ditto
The point is, that if you were able to keep what you have earned, you may, in fact not need social security to supplement your retirement. Thus, the whole purpose of the program is exposed as a fraud and scam to redistribute your income to those more deserving of your hard work.
I look at my AGI as reported by the SS Admin and compare what I have paid in taxes to FICA and what I would have (imputed value based on DJIA 1980 to present) as a nest-egg (about 2.2 million) now, were those funds not stolen from me. I could retire from my job, today at 45, and live very comfortably for the rest of my life.
Sounds like you would retire earlier than 62 if it were possible.
“To encourage such behavior, Social Security benefits taken before age 66 or 70 could be more highly taxed...”
Soc Sec is a classic bait and switch scheme anyway.
Isn’t this the guy who was hoping that global warming deniers don’t expect gov help when the seas flood coastal areas?
I did. I worked from the time I was a teenager, for 45+ years. I put up with a tremendous amount of crap, and lined the pockets of every pimp manager I had. I was bled dry in taxes. I wasted a mammoth amount of my life commuting.
I wish I had retired at 55.
