[QUOTE="jakeman, post: 2053073, member: 10690"] I'd gladly take 75%. What they've taken out of my checks in the last 34 years is obscene. If I had been able to deposit that money into an IRA or other interest bearing account, in addition to what I was already stashing away, I'd be able to retire now. I just look at is as gone. I probably won't draw a penny. My wife will probably get to draw mine when I punt, but I doubt she'll ever get close to drawing what I've put in. But, for someone to say everyone pays, but only those that are too stupid to plan for their own well being get to draw? Yeah, right. That is wealth redistribution, and it won't work, and I'm not going to go into the reasons why. We all know why it won't work. But, people would quit saving more, so they could get back from the .gov what the .gov took, or they wouldn't save any, knowing that the .gov would take care of them. You wanna start a revolution? Try to get that passed. [/QUOTE]
