Andy,
1. I never said SS is in crisis.
2. I posted a congressional budget office report of effective federal
tax rates that showed the 80/20 fact and refuted your claim.
3. I don't expect you to agree that SS is a bad idea philosophically
and should be terminated.
Do you oppose a hypothetical addendum so SS that would allow people
to voluntarily leave the system? I hope your message of the 401k
myth gets out to the thousands of people now living off them.
