Does anyone really expect me not to collect SS if I have to pay forit my whole life?? Once I am exempt, I promise not to claim it.
If we could keep those money forcefully collected from our paychecks for SS, and invest them in private retirement funds, we would make a lot more money for the old age then those laughable amounts you get from SS.
Same with Medicare: we pay for it all our adult life! Imagine if those money would have been invested in HSA?
Just a little perspective on those "free" handouts.:-|
