G-d grant its passage!

I paid into -- that is, the government legally stole from my every paycheck outside of public employment -- that money is rightfully MINE and I want it back!

My wife worked for over 20 years outside of Gov't payroll, and paid her full amount into SS. She is penalized now because of this. It is completely unfair to folks like her, who paid into and qualified for full SS benefits and now only receives a pittance of what she should.

I once made the mistake of calculating (estimating) what I would have had at my retirement from 44 years working, if I'd been allowed to keep and invest my payments into SS.  It would have been mine to invest through the 70s and 80s, when the compounding interest rate on simple CD savings was well over 10% and you could buy Microsoft for $1.75/share.  Don't go there.  Your calcs  will make you I'll !

Yea but would everyone save or just spend more every year?

In VT we pay both federal and state income tax on SS. :angry:
