ME..ME. I do. But what does that have do do with anything? I
bought and paid for those. Against my will though. If I'd had my
druthers, I'd rather have eschewed SS and taken care of myself; I
did anyway but could have done WAY better if I'd been able to use
the SS tax that the feds forced upon me.

Hindsight is 20/20. Foresight not so good.

Nonsense. Anyone with the most basic of math skills could see that it
was a loser, from day 1.

Right. Plus, assuming only a modest rate of return on the capital, one could
withdraw as much or more than SS doles out and leave the capital untouched
or minimally reduced. Enter the inheritance tax for all.
