Going Galt?

Ayn Rand applied for both Social Security and Medicare benefits.

So the Goddess of the Tea Party was as much a hypocrite as the rest of the so-called conservatives.

Oh my goodness... that is just funny.

So the government FORCES people to pay into a system that, if given a choice, would not, and then you criticize them when they try to recover some of the money they had to hand over?

Why not give people the choice whether or not to enroll into SS?

John, how well would that have worked if you had the same people managing tens of millions of retirement accounts who were also dealing with those fraudulent items laughingly called "mortgage-backed securities"?

I submit that most of the money managers would have invested in them and then we would have a shitload of people, right now, who would have a lot less to retire on.

Besides that, if you give people a choice as to whether or not to save for retirement, how many won't?

I can fix Social Security tomorrow: Lift the cap on high-end earners.
