It is called "Personal Responsibility" - a term you Washington types know little about.

Ah, yes, more Right Wing Tripe. Where is the sense of Right Wing Responsibility in the business sector, as in massive outsourcing, support for nonenforcement of existing laws against employment of illegal aliens, and the Mortgage fraud mess? Right Wing Responsibility doesn't go very far when MONEY is involved. It's a very old story ...

Yes, let's just have a talk about Ponzi Schemes!

You brought up the tripe about "Responsibility." OFF-TOPIC, right? But no, it's not off-topic because it's a plank in the almighty GOP platform year after year! hahahaha What reponsibility the Right practices in this country! hahahaha

Sorry Bubba but, the context of my post was that I am responsible to take care of myself and my family - that I do not have any responsibility to take care of you in your old age.

And, inasmuch as I am not a Republican, or Democrat - I am registered as no party preference, your GOP remark is meaningless

You are remarking about your personal political philosophy. The law is the law. If you wish to protest by transgressing the law, you will be prosecuted. Unless you are employing an illegal alien, then you will not be prosecuted, most likely, thanks to the present GOP-led administration, which is heavily and successfully lobbied by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.

I'm sorry but, you are mistaken.

I have not "participated" by "contribution" to Social Security in almost 3 decades. I do not have a SSN - I have a TIN

I withdrew from the system many years ago - quite legally I might add.

So, once again, you are wrong.

Does not alter my post though

I legally withdrew from the Social Security system and have not paid into it for almost 3 decades

Your objections notwithstanding

You still don't get it. But you seem to be hard-core libertarian. You don't seem to understand that as government shrinks, the 'little people' get hurt more. And there are a lot more 'little people' than 'big people'. Democracy must be a dirty word for libertarians.
