The $2872 you contributed to Social Security/Medicare was matched by your employer. So actually $5744 was used for o purposes other than putting it away for your retirement. It went in the government's general fund, to spend as they see fit. This is why Dems don't want to see Social Security reform (they think it's their money) and another reason that our jobs are going to China and India, where your company can hire a person to do your job for the price of their contribution to FICA taxes on your behalf.

Thanks, I was just about to point that out. Most people don't realize how bad the SCAM really is.
