Interesting link to CURRENT (January, 2011) report showing how one actually gets MORE benefits from SS and Medicare than one puts in (complete with simple, easy to read tables): http://structuredsettlements.typepad.com/files/social-security-medicare-benefits-over-lifetime2.pdfIt also shows dwindling returns as time goes on, meaning the younger folks getting less return for their "investment." Still, not sure one could do better with private investments with today's APYs. Doesn't really matter so much now, as this sort of pay as you go financing will likely not hold up under the strain of MASS "retirement-aged" folks, born to those of our "Greatest Generation," unless we have another comparable Baby Boom SOON.

Hey there WW The problem I have with the Chart is that, in our lifetime, and oft time after, the Government gets Most of every Citizens earnings, one way or the other, leaving surviving family members to barely survive, or die in debt. All we do is Pay pay pay. I believe every Disabled American, Veteran, and the Elderly Person should have a Decent Standard of Living and Care. These are people that in a modern society should never be thrown to the Wolves. That is what I paid my Taxes for. Not War. Not Bureaucracy. My fellow Americans. Beside Social Security, Roads, and Boarder protection, What the Hell else is the Federal Government for? Nuthin. I would bet on Rand Paul's chances of having a successful White house Bid in 2016. Ron Paul in 2012 is Doubtful. But he surely has my Vote. At least he is educating and waking some of the Sheeple. I am also Betting Marc Emery will be more powerful and successful then ever after his release. 2012 will be a year that Civil War 2 will break out.IMHO The government will go too far with regulating the Net, and wake a sleeping giant. The Young. Remember the 60s? Cannabis Legalization is simply the tip of the iceberg. I am ready to help anyone. Grow, Trim, Protest, Get Meds to patients, Security, Sweep the floor, I dont care. I was a Chef and cooked all over the Country. I have been a Martial Arts Instructor, Locksmith and Security Specialist since 1984. I have been a Co Op Provider for 20 years in 5 different states. I had Music Clubs, Restaurants,Wrestling Promotions and even Hotdog Carts. But since I have M.S., I am unHireable, so I am itchin to prove that a Disabled person can still Stand up and be Counted. Or if necessary I will roll up in a Wheelchair for Freedom.

Nope. The masses are deluded. Most people realize that the government is criminal but they won't be bothered to take time out of their TV viewing schedule after a long day at their shit job that barely pays them enough to feed themselves and keep the cable on to do a god damned thing about it. No one is going to start a fucking revolution. Americans will sit and rot in our own shit as long as the government keeps handing out a pittance to the disenfranchised lazy fucks that keep having more kids to get more welfare (don't tell me that it's bullshit cuz I've heard it from the horses mouth, some young single broke as fuck mom wants another kid so she can get more gov't assistance). Sure, there are people who really do need government assistance, and it's too bad that all of the fuckheads have had to ruin it for them. My mom worked three fucking jobs at a time and even had to use the food pantry a few times, but she was too proud to go on welfare. She just wouldn't do it. That is what being American is all about. Rugged individualism, self determination.
Collectively, we will continue to suckle from the tit of our massive government bureaucracy, convincing ourselves that we are getting one over on The Man, all the while the system is merely making us purely dependent on it.
Americans have been too comfortable for too long. There will be no revolution, only slavery. The masses will capitulate to indentured servitude to the billion dollar a year bonus bankers who have completely infiltrated the governments of the entire western world.
The printing of money by the Federal Reserve that is loaned at interest is already basically indentured servitude. Do you like being a slave for a private bank? Keep paying that income tax sucker. The Federal Income Tax does not pay for any services, it only pays the interest on the national debt, to the Federal Reserve, which IS a privately owned bank who's CEO is appointed by the president. AKA- They put the president into power.
END RANT
