Reply #48: Oh I see you got yours, so the rest of society is of no concern to you? [View All]

Is my assumption correct? Your suppositions are wrong anyway. You could go to work in another country and that way you won't have to pay into this country's SS but you will probably have to pay far more taxes than here. It has been a useful safety net far more today than it ever has been, with all those retirees who have no jobs right now and less chance of getting one. How are they supposed to save? Our society can be based on the common good down the line when you stop fighting the programs that will lead to them instead of saying I don't want to pay into it because I'll save my own money. Do you have any facts to back up your assertion that the pool only enriches the well connected? I think if you get your face out of the Heritage Foundation website and go to Google you will find out that this is just BS.
