That’s a hard pass for me. I’d rather opt out of social security. It’s a ponzi scam. If the government had put that into a private account, I’d have millions of dollars in there.

    I’d rather take the pay increase then continue funding a Ponzi scheme.

      Your pay increase, which isn’t an increase, it’s merely maintaining the status quo, benefits you and you alone.

      Fully contributing to SSI benefits EVERYONE. Surely you can see that difference?

        It isn’t my job to pay for everyone else’s retirement. People need to be responsible for their own retirements.

          It’s your responsibilty, as a human being, to contribute to the betterment of society.

          Doing that ALSO benefits you because it ensures that people won’t be coming to burn your house down if society collapses.
