"SS and medicare withholding is money you will see back (hopefully or if we can cut the discretionary defense budget in half) when you retire"

This is the good part.
You and I both know that I will never see any of the SS money I have put in.
With the exception of the interest on the federal debt the mandatory budget is feeding the bottomless stomach of broken, bankrupt social entitlement programs.
You want to add government controlled (make no mistake - that is where this is headed if they get their way) healthcare to that tab. The defense budget will be pennies on the dollar.

And again, national defense is in the constitution. Where is nanny-state health care and retirement programs? (which are now costing FAR more than defense).

I dont want to pay into social security and I don't want to get a SS check. Give me my money now- I assure you I can invest it FAR better than the damn govt.
The hubris of liberalism: They know better than we do how to spend OUR money..... an so it goes.....
