While I will stay out of the pro/anti O debate, anyone who thinks they receive a positive return on their FICA tax is clueless about the time value of money and the cancer of inflation. You could put that 6% withholding in your mattress and come out ahead compared to SS.
And anyone who thinks government run anything is more efficient than private industry (with true competition) is ignoring the huge haircut and inefficiency inherent in bureaucracies.
Administrative Agencies (Fed, State, County, City) are crippling our country - not only because of their enormous expense, but also the totalitarian nature of their methods that deprive citizens of due process and other Constitutional rights. Thanx for nothing FDR.
