ML>ml>nice story but it still does not answer the questions i posed...
ML>ml>everyone who is working has to pay into the system... if they do
ML>ml>not  use the monies they paid in by participating in the system,
ML>ml>then why cannot others use those monies?? if you allow no one can
ML>ml>to them,  then you are wasting your monies and showing a very
ML>ml>negative  charitable side...
ML> 
ML> JB> The government is not in the charity business.

ML>i never said it was but it does (and has for many years) given money
ML>to those who do/have not paid into the system...

ML> JB> If the extra money stays in the system then the government
ML> JB> decides  who  gets the excess.  If the government returns the

ML>  
ML>since when? 

I think that is the very debate we are having.  You are suggesting that 
we might as well use it since the government will keep it and I am 
suggesting the government give it back.


ML> JB> then the people decide.  The choice for me is easy.  I trust the
ML> JB> people  over the government to make wise decisions with their 
ML> JB> money. 

ML>once it is given to the government, it is the government's money to
ML>do with as it sees fit... once it is out of your hands, it is "out of
ML>your hands"... think about it ;)

It is always our money, never the government's.
