Isn't it connected to retirement? I decide I'd like to keep more money for me to invest than to let the Government take it and decide what to do with it?
How is it not connected?
I don't expect the government to take care of me, I expect that the monies I use to be "helpful" to those that didn't plan or didn't have enough, just like all the other social programs that exist.
But again, I'd rather I take care of it, and pay the taxes and keep ALL the monies that I contributed towards SS.
