No, technically social security is not voluntary. You may choose not to receive benefits, but you cannot choose not to pay. Please cite me something on your proposition. There are some instances where an employee does not have to pay, but it is not because they opted out. Where do you guys come up with this stuff.
Yes you can choose not to pay into it. I havent paid into it for 12 years..
Social Security was declared constitutional by the Supreme Court years ago.
Yes, in I believe 1937. What is your point? The Supreme court also found unconstitutional Laws declaring it illegal to have an abortion. Both rulings can be overturned by a simple majority of the Supreme Court. If Romney were elected, they would have a more conservative supreme court if one of the two more liberal justices retire or die, which is expected.

presidents dont send laws to the Supreme Court for a ruling
I'd be embarassed to have to lie and spread fear about an opponent in order to defeat him..

I'm embarrassed that you have to lie as well.
President's appoint supreme court justices. Any law can be challenged for constitutionality by anyone with standing and a case and controversy. The Supreme Court, in most cases, can decide to hear the challenge or not. Did you not learn this in college? Ask for your money back.
I will wait while you go to Wikipedia to look up Constitutional law.
If Romney wins, expect Social Security to be found unconstitutional. I can't imagine any other result if it is found to be unconstitutional other than the checks would have to stop going out and the tax would be found unconstitutional and stopped as well.
In 1937 the Supreme Court ruled Social Security to be Constitutional Romney's election to the presidency, not the Supreme Court, is going to do away with that 75 year old precedent?

The 1937 decision can be overturned by a simple majority of the "new" Supreme Court. It is no different than the Supreme Court's ability to overturn Roe V. Wade.
You guys seem to forget the citizens united case. In that case, the Supreme court overturned Austin v. Michigan Chamber of Commerce, a 20-year-old precedent that the Rehnquist court had invoked just over six years ago when it upheld the McCain-Feingold statute.
This is an activist court. With only one more radical conservative on the Court, it could overturn Social Security. Precedent be damed as the Citizens United Case shows just because they have ruled it constitutional in the past does not mean they can not change their ruling and find it unconstitutional.
Yup! Romney wants to have Social Security unconstitutional. He also wants to use the Grand Canyon as the nations garbage dump. The garbage will be brought in by high speed rail.
And he will convert Mrs. Obama's garden to a target range and use puppies and kittens as targets.
Nothin g but your opinion , and as usual , its incorrect.
Justice Samuel Alito spoke critically of Obamacare, complaining that it “forces young, healthy people to subsidize services that will be received by somebody else.” Exactly the same could be said today about Social Security.

wrong.. one has to have legal standing to bring a case to the Supreme Court. just being president doesnt give you that
My god I never thought people were this dumb but since you want people to look at Constitutional Law, why dont you start by reading Article III, and stop embarassing yourself.
