That is such complete bull****, Don. You're comparing a successful,
self-sufficient person who may, at some point in the future, receive
Medicare benefits to someone who "works the system."

Self sufficiency goes a bit beyond producing one's own electricity.
The annual contributions to medicare and FICA for those who earn a
living are considerably higher than their electric bills.

If he is indeed successfully self-sufficient, then he won't draw
support later from the system he's not contributing to now (and hasn't
for years) and hats off to him.

ANYONE who collects social security or medicare is "riding on the
backs" of the current contributors. So what's your point?

The point is that there must be current contributors for the system to
work. People who collect that didn't previously contribute to support
those before them are parasitically working the system as much as AFDC
mothers who prolifically pop progeny to get the cheese checks.


There's no reason to believe that Wayne didn't previously contribute.
