Yeah, one that most of this country relies on to get through life(retirement years). Most people work there ass off paying into such for 20, 30, 40 years...You think the vast majority of this country is going to do that than vote to take it apart? You must be from another planet. Who cares if it is a ponzi sheme--- It's the kind that most people want and strongly support in this country. Only the far right supports people saving up their own money as that would take to much brain power for most of the idiot to understand. You have to understand the majority.
All I want is the option to opt out of SS and take care of my own retirement. The rest of the country can continue to believe in a failing system if they want to, but leave me out of it.
I want an option to opt out of my share of 50% of the defense budget I pay for that I don't believe we need.
First, they're apples and oranges. You're comparing the defense of our nation to a forced hand out.
However, and second, you're right that the defense budget does need to be reduced. But not by 50%, and the cuts need to be specifically targeted so they don't just kick out a bunch of servicemen to achieve it. We can start by ending all of our foreign entanglements, shutting down all foreign military bases (except Landstuhl Medical Center in germany), and bringing every single troop home.
