TR> Do the math........at some point....nobody's gonna be able to eat
TR> lunch, because there won't be enough coming in to pay for it.


ML>nice story but it still does not answer the questions i posed... everyone
ML>who is working has to pay into the system... if they do not use the monies
ML>they paid in by participating in the system, then why cannot others use
ML>those monies??


I and many other people pay auto insurance. I've been with the same company
for over twenty years, and had one accident that was the other guy's fault.
His insurance company paid to have our vehicle fixed.


So......you could say that I've paid those monies into the system by
participating, but never `used' it.


Why should someone else who has *not* paid into the system get to use what *I*
paid into it? Why should *I* have to pay for someone's accident who has no
insurance, and has *never* had any?


And its the same with the Social Security monies I've paid in all these years.
I paid in for many years, enough to be recieving a fairly good monthly return
for it.


But my return would be much higher if the monies weren't also going to support
people who do not work. Who whine about headaches, or sore backs. Not to
mention all the other boondoggles those monies have been stretched out to pay
for.


ML>if you allow no one can to them, then you are wasting your
ML>monies and showing a very negative charitable side...


The money is only being `wasted' by the politicians who have control over it.
Any time you have politicians controlling large sums of money that belong to
the people they are supposed to be looking out for, as well as governing....
you get a whole lot of `governing', and very little `looking out for'.


It isn't the `governed' who waste the monies.....its the politicians.


As for a `negative charitable side'.......the last time I looked, `charitable'
was a matter of personal choice. What the government does with much of the
monies we pay into the system isn't on a `charitable' level.....it is
`mandate'....enforced at the point of a gun.


That isn't charity.....thats theft!
