   SMH. Taxes don't fund retirements.  Retirements are already supposed to   
   be funded and paid for by dedicated payroll tax payments.   
      
   We self-employed business owners pay DOUBLE (12.4%) what everyone else   
   does for the same amount of money upon retirement.   
      
   You can tell Swill is full of shit because he doesn't know this.
