Letter from Social Security

[ItsTime]

So my fiancee got a letter from Social Security yesterday. It was basically a flyer saying how awesome SS is. Here is a quote:


Will SS still be around when I retire?

Yes......
The SS board of trustees now estimates that based on current law, in 2041, the trust funds will be depleted......
Therefore, the taxes that are paid by workers will not be enough to pay the full benefit amounts scheduled.......
However, this does not mean that SS benefit payments will disappear. ...
enough funds in 2041 from taxes paid by workers to pay about $780 for every $1,000 in benefits scheduled.

So why would anyone want to pay into this?

Remember that most people are not aware that Social Security is a Ponzi Scheme

I sent a letter asking for their opt out form because my parents knew not what they were doing when they signed me up for it when I was born. In fact I never had a choice I told them. Never heard back from them. :)

We need millions asking to opt out of the program.

It's easy, not only do you get some of your money back when you retire, but you get cage insurance on top of it.

Myself, I buy it mostly for the cage insurance.

This is the same reason I pay taxes, actually, as well. I'm not very enthusiastic about the war on drugs, or foreign wars, or government education, but that cage insurance is invaluable :D.

Because if you die early, you do not want your greedy relatives fighting over your excess money. This way spares them that pain. Duh. :)

Could you supply a scan of it? I'll put it up on digg with the headline "PROOF that Social Security is a fraudulent Ponzi Scheme" - should get a reaction

Actually, I got a copy too ... I'll see if I can dig it up.

Who would have thought that our own government had a "MLM" of their own?
