Fair enough. Would you refund me all that I have paid into it, plus interest?
Edit: That is a pretty good way to gag dissent. In order for someone to be against an item, be it SS, taxes or whatever, they have to pay into it and forfeit any claim to the benefits they paid for. Or am I misreading you?

Here in America, greatest nation on earth, home of freedom and democracy, one can talk out of both sides of one's face while running for public office. This "Angle" is merely using freedom of speech to advance her political position, all the while benefiting from this thing she derides as evil government. We are also free to stick our heads in the sand and ignore these juxtapositions, which seems to be where you are now. Again, if you cannot grasp the irony of it, I'm not sure that I can help you. You can't help those that will not help themselves....
Sarcasm apparently runs with the same crowd as irony... invisible to some.
Hey 10fords, is this quote of yours referring to Angle??? -
I feel the same way about people who constantly talk about the evils of the US and how they are ashamed to be an American, while reaping the benefits of said citizenship.
Very astute the way you picked up on that. Glad to see that JR's thread is opening some eyes...
