Granted i am looking at this through jaded eyes but I have been putting lots of dollars, around $35K+/year for the last twenty years and before that about 20-25K in just federal income and FICA. Except for the military shared benefit, I get nothing, ZERO. As of now, I am looking to get some, any of that back. I won't see any SS and medicare will be long gone replaced with a pain pill for old white guys. I'm certainly leaning toward milking the system. Any kind of payback will be better than nothing which is what I am looking at getting now.
What last night proved to me is that we passed the tipping point. The system is coming down, the moochers and looters are going to do this. The Question is why would I not try to get a little something back and speed the crash. I'll be OK but the looters and moochers will be hurting then.
