You said a mouthful....a full accounting of what has happened to payroll taxes taken in over the years would be a scandal that would make enron look like a spitting on the sidewalk case.... The main reason the left does not want any part of social security system in private hands is the resulting loss of the cash flow......plus it might spawn the notion that it is in fact your money....if that idea ever spreads ...they are finished

Ponzi scheme. So true. And while on the subject of rackets. What do the liberal state government legislatures do at their? They legalize one form of gambling -- state-run lotteries -- granting themselves a monopoly, and advertise among low-income people, who every Friday blow their paycheck on a one-in-a million chance to hit it big, getting back a few bucks here and there just to keep them playing. Then the liberals -- both state and federal -- complain that low-income people don't make enough money to make ends meet. If this these things aren't just as bad as the corner dope dealer who gives a few free samples away to get people hooked, I don't know what is.
