I thought the correct spelling had an 'a'? Or is that another dialect :hmmm:

We'll all get some SS, and unless we take out less than we put in, it's a handout for ALL OF US.

There is no "interest" it's a tax like any other, the government borrows it, and gives it back. Most people get more than they pay in, so for most it's a handout. If you count medicare, virtually all get more than they pay in.

I'm not saying it's just HIM that gets a handout, everyone does. It is a handout from our kids if we get a penny more than we put in, plain and simple. The only way to mitigate it is to take more from our kids, or ask for less.

I'll ask for less before taking from my kids, YMMV.

I don't see why you all are so mad about paying social security.
Sure, your money can be given to your fellow countrymen to help them when they are disabled and cannot work, out of a job temporarily etc. but why is that such a bad thing? are we going to digress to a "I got mine so up yours buddy!" attitude? what happened to Jesus saying "thou shalt thy neighbor as thyself"?

Since we're talking about SS, I've had first hand experience with these guys and they rival DMV retardedness:shifty:. They over pay, then under pay, then over pay,:har: you get the cycle.

Taxes aren't the problem. It's government spending that's the problem. If the government would stop spending then there would be no need for more and more taxes. Unfortunately, Obama spends money like a housewife on Ebay with her husband's credit card.
