I give to charity and help those who help themselves.


And you're oversimplifying this subject with one paragraph. Stop paying taxes, then. Demand that no more money be taken from your paycheck to pay for others' social security. After all, the old and disabled should just get off their butts and work to pay their own way.

Do me a favor, HI. As an experiment, you figure out how much it would take out of the paycheck of a minimum wage earner, or even someone that makes $10/hr, to pay for medical insurance. Wonder if said earner would be able to afford a car, home - and not the best ones, mind you, just the basics - put food on the table, pay for childcare, etc. And, yes, there are those who make such a small amount of money; not everyone gets to go to college. Get back to us on it. Oh, and do me another favor: actually read what I've typed on this particular thread. Roll Eyes
