RE: GEN X doesn't want Social Security anyway


>From Matt Greenawalt:

>>>>>No one in my age group thinks that Social Security will be around for us anyway. Most of us would rather forfeit our benefits if we could just not have to pay into it. I have written my Congressman at least 3 times asking if there were any way I could just get out of Social Security--a system I certainly have never had the opportunity to vote on or choose in any way to belong to . . (i.e. taxation without being born yet)

Good idea. I would like to opt out of income taxes. Wasn't around to speak against passing the 16 amendment. Also, I'd like to opt out of the National Debt. Nobody asked me about spending the money. I'm mean, come on, I knew that the Soviet economy was going to collapse, and we were bound to win the Cold War. No use spending all that money on the military industrial complex!
