I was going to call you out on that minor little detail

glad you added it

Any smart person would take the money they would have had taxed for SS and put it in a retirement fund

They would make out like bandits

Most of us are living pay check to pay check. Even if we know that would be the wise thing to do most of us wouldn't do it. We spend what we have. If we don't have it we can't spend it. We just ***** about it being taken out when we look at our pay stub.

Sounds like your life would really suck if you actually had to live with a real Obamacare policy instead of that pre-Obamacare policy you were grandfathered under.

I've never been on an individual plan. Only about 10% of the population are. My employer and I split the cost. The grandfathering was about individual policies not employer policies. I've explained that to you countless times but you never seem to grasp that. It is certainly true that people in my age group that don't have employer plans and have high incomes pay a huge premium.
