Phil Mickelson leaving Cali.

I'm saying that if you don't pay into whatever system it is, then you shouldn't have a say in how it operates or doles out money. Maybe it should even be a threshold of something like $1000 or so.

Whoever Mickelson is, he could go to Russia to escape taxes, like french actor Gérard Depardieu:

Well then you cover everyone because no matter the program even the people that cheat the system wind up paying in $1,000.00 when they really should pay more in.What about a person that has paid their fair share but has become disabled or has become unemployed dose their previous pay ins count or do they loose their right when they cant pay in anymore?Of course a person receiving SS that is above retirement age still must pay.
