[QUOTE="SMS, post: 1745576, member: 42"] You are right, they aren't a personal savings account...they are payment in return for government services. So unless you do not avail yourself of [I]any[/I] government services, you might climb down off the horse. You state you are a retired public employee, receiving a wholly or partially government funded pension of some sort I assume, so someone else could make the argument that you are just as guilty of 'sucking off the tit', to use your own terms. I would not make that argument since you fulfilled your contract. I pay taxes, they provide services...that's how that contract works. If you want to cut back the services and defund FEMA I'd support it, [I]providing[/I] we saw a corresponding decrease in tax rate to account for the reduced service. Until then I will use the services that [I]I pay for[/I]. Now if you want to rant on about folks who don't pay into the system receiving stuff gratis...I'll climb up on the horse with you. [/QUOTE]
