There are quite a few, take your pick: The Entitled; Gypsies, Tramps & Thieves; The Loafers Coffers (my favorite); The Illegals Reserve; now here I am gonna use a Palin tactic; The Entitlists (yes, I made it up). hahahaha...and the list GOES on!

If I am FORCED to pay into FICA then I am NOT a freeloader! MAYBE YOU ARE, me I just want back what I put in so far because I KNOW I can do a MUCH better job with it than ANY of our past, present or future governments! By the way, if anyone decide to shut down Social Security I hope they are ready to PAY in full those who have PAID into, otherwise they would be just as much as liar and thief as our current dictator!

While I understand your concern, I don't know what else to do. When you paid into Social Security, you had no choice and the money was spent on those then collecting. Now you are collecting from those who are paying. My 16 year old pays 15.5% of her earnings towards FICA which includes Social Security and she is making minimum wage. So while you may not like it, it is the truth. RE: Mr. Barnett.

One thing does bother me a bit, though. I'm 70 years old, a veteran, and on Social Security, to which I paid into since I was 14. Guignard seems to be putting me into the freeloader class. While I strongly disagree with the social security program, since the the U.S. government has "borrowed" from the social security fund more than 2.6 trillion (never to be paid back), my wife and I never had any choice but to pay into the program and even now are taxed on the monthly payments we receive.
