>You said you wanted fewer people dependent on Social Security, don't you? >That would suggest that the need for SS would be a lot less, allowing the size of the program to be reduced (along with the corresponding payroll deductions). I want everybody to receive it. I just want fewer people to NEED it. >Yet you also support raising taxes to cover a shortfall when the Baby boomers retire, i.e. more people dependent on SS. I'm going to get it when I retire. That does not make me dependent on it. -Z

I didn't think SS would be there for me. I did some pretty wild living when I was younger, and never thought I'd make it to collect SS. Later, I thought the system would collapse before I collected. Turns out, my PARENTS thought the same thing. But, here I am, all ready to collect YOUR contributions! Just as in the future, you'll be collected from some younger whiner. That we both have provided for our retirements doesn't mean that we're going to decline SS, does it Ten?
