Better $8.00 at the store than $3.50 with another $7.50 going to the government in tax so that the government can give $4.50 back to the farmer in subsidies.

How do you think a company decides your salary? Might they just happen to include the SS match along with other things like retirement, healthcare and any other bennies an employee might receive.

Let's see: I don't agree with a few but do with the rest; therefore I am a liberal republican, right? Very poor logic.

Simple math: SS deduction times 2 (employer matches) factor in SS interest annually and after over 50 years of work I would receive almost three times what I get. Where does the rest go? To programs that buy v**es for our congressmen! Had even a small portion of the stolen money been used to let the fund grow we would now not need to even have a SS tax!
