Chris, I have to side with Terry on the subject of Social Security. When I look at how much of my paychecks have been eaten up by "social" taxes, I am horrified. Moreover, my mother and people of her generation never contributed the proportion of their salaries that we do.

Social Security was never meant to provide so heavily to an elderly person's support. You know this as well as I do.

I shall probably collect Social Security--if it is there to be collected--because it was "stolen" from me in the first place. Likewise, unemployment insurance is "stolen" from employers.

I shall never forget LBJ's "Great Society" and the supposed wonders of Medicare and Medicaid. I was dubious then and having watched both systems at work, I remain dubious.
