>That cookie addict will be paying for your medicare and social security for 30 years, while you pay for their medicare and social security for 5. Why can't we just pay for our own if we have the means and give those without means basic, cost-effective care for things that can't be solved with lifestyle changes? And why do I have to be forced into this? Why can't I just chose my relations and affiliations for myself? Besides, bold of you to assume that social security will be there for me when I'm able to retire. That money is gone, I'm not going to see a dime of it - it's just an extra 15% tax on my first 110k.
