Gee whiz JHP, of course the first ones into a ponzi scheme collect. That is the nature of the scam, the new 'investors' pay of the old 'investors' until there aren't enough new 'investors to pay off the old and the whole scheme blows up. That's where socialist security is headed. Also, you haven't addressed the point of redistributing money from the gas station attendant to Bill Gates once. BTW, don't try your 'me, me, me' nonsense with me, as I've opted out of the ss scam and happily will forego any 'benefits' for the privilege. It's too bad everyone can't opt out, as it's a rotten scheme which gov't has no business being in. Regards, Barb

>>all you do is cry about yourself<< jhp, resorting to personal attacks, heh? well, since we know what direction you will stoop, the only unanswered question is how low you will go. not sure i want to know. :-( the whole family contributed to ss. tanstaafl. find the meaning. stealing $500k and $1600 a month from your children for a quick small financial fix is... unselfish? selfish? (fill in the blank). i wouldn't do it even though it would impact my bottom line. is turning $500k and $2,400 a month into $800 and efficient system? focus on the system and not yourself. simple question. ask yourself why you won't answer it and resort to ad hominem attacks. the answer will be enlightening, imho.
