And if some bureaucrat decides for whatever reason that I should get nothing, well, why should I pay into it, then? And if I did, where would my money go? That's hardly better than the current scam. Next you'll be saying we need a government program to unzip our flies for us before we pee. But they'll only help us pee if they deem us worthy, and we get taxed for it regardless. Helping people pee. Now there's an interesting patronage job. No nation ever became great or wealthy by government redistribution of wealth. A number have been severely harmed by it, though. The UK comes to mind. It's a wonder anyone's still stupid enough to believe in that horseshit. ---------------------------------------------------------------- DEAL WITH IT.

And if some bureaucrat decides for whatever reason that I should get nothing, well, why should I pay into it, then? Now, I realize that you are largely incapable of reading with comprehension, but if you will look back to my first post you will see that you get everything back you put in. Your idiotic response above suggests that I said "Put it in, but don't take any out". I couldn't read the rest of your post for fear it made as little sense as the first paragraph. bcnu, Mikem The soul and substance of what customarily ranks as patriotism is moral cowardice and always has been...We have thrown away the most valuable asset we had-- the individual's right to oppose both flag and country when he (just he, by himself) believed them to be in the wrong. We have thrown it away; and with it all that was really respectable about that grotesque and laughable word, Patriotism. - Mark Twain, "Monarchical and Republican Patriotism"

Either there's something beyond getting back principal and interest involved here, or you're simply talking out of your ass, as usual. ---------------------------------------------------------------- DEAL WITH IT.

Hey goober, principal + interest is um, let's see, can I get a single syllabled word to describe this to you, YES! principal + interest is more than you put in. bcnu, Mikem Java, Junk. Both start with a "J", both have four letters. Coincidence? I think not. Edited by mmoffitt Nov. 3, 2003, 10:56:35 AM EST Expand All History
