Social Security *is* a Ponzi scheme by any reasonable definition of the term.


I have one problem with calling SS a Ponzi scheme. Mr. Ponzi's
victims were all voluntary and the "investment" was enforced by guys
with guns, and forfeiture warrants.



With all due respect, if you and others object to the law, change it.
That is your right.


Any attempt to eliminate SS will meet with a tarring and feathering.
