[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Knowing that I will never see the social security nor the Medicare I have been paying into my entire life, I do not like the new additional tax.[/b]  What offends me are my friends who either do not work or barely work, who will in face benefit from all my earnings over the years. Seriously, I can't even think about it because it angers me so much. (PS - read President Clinton's report on SS/Medicare --so scary.)[/quote]

This is what bothers me too.  I wouldn't have as much of a problem paying in if I knew I would also be getting back at some point.  Given that I won't retire for 35 more years, it's pretty unlikely that I'll get very much.  The system is a mess.

It's frustrating, but I'm not saying we should stop paying for all of the old people.  We can't exactly take away their benefits out of nowhere . . . but yes, not pleased to be paying more for something that I'll probably never get the benefit of.[/quote]

Baloney. You'll get your benefits, unless you die young.[/quote]

Agree, social security in particular isn't going anywhere. Fixing the financing of it really isn't that difficult.

Medicare is in a much dicier position.[/quote]
