Re: CNN Poll: GOP would bear the brunt of shutdown blame [W:176]
I'd rather pay a few bucks than see millions of people your age panhandling and suffering from untreated diseases when I walk down the street. So, we subsidize them all the way to their grave...which, of course, is expensive as hell.
It is what it is. I'm not thrilled about paying in at a rate of roughly $150k every ten years. I'd rather keep the money. That's for sure. But...You didn't answer the question, where should my wife's money go if not to her family. You don't seem to understand the concept of contributions along with just about everything else. It isn't a government check, it is her money and mine as well as yours that you contribute. Why should your money pay fro my retirement supplement? Is that what a Ponzi scheme is?
