[QUOTE="ConstitutionCowboy, post: 3071033, member: 745"] Let's not forget that Social Security is unconstitutional. Medicare is unconstitutional. Medicaid is unconstitutional. All these "populist" schemes were put in place to garner votes. Also, take note of how these systems have expanded so far beyond the small bit of an unconstitutional dependency upon government into a Ponzi scheme used to finance the ever expanding government. J. Wellington Wimpy would be proud. He promised to pay for his hamburgers on Tuesday(or was to Thursday?), but that day never came as far as I can remember. There will be the day that Uncle Sam won't have the cash or ability to print or borrow more to meet the commitment. Sad thing is, many of us who were forced to pay into these systems had(have) nothing left to save in support of our own retirement. We're not talking the approximately 7% of our pay. It is nearly 15%. The "half" paid for by the employers is on behalf of the employees. My wife and I could have done much better if we had that 15% to put aside for ourselves. Woody [/QUOTE]
