Opting out and not participating in a wage-base economy are absolutely NOT the same thing. Opting out implies a simple choice. This is not a choice, this is either effectively be fantastically wealthy (and live off capital investments) or be fantastically poor (and live off welfare). Since the former isn't really a choice, you get to either opt-out of FICA, or opt-in to being destitute.
- dragonwriter 10y ago> Opting out and not participating in a wage-base economy are absolutely NOT the same thing. To the extent capitalism isn't slavery they absolutely are. We can, of course, debate the extent to which capitalism is or isn't slavery. Of course, again, you can still opt-out of Social Security within the wage-labor economy, it just narrows your choices of acceptable employment opportunities.
