That is how I understand it also. However no one is forcing anyone to
support themselves through earning a wage.


Right. People can avoid paying social security simply by not supporting
themselves through earning wages. Why do you suppose most people don't take
that option?



It's not easy, but I'm aware of them and working on changing. How
about you?


I don't have any.



Just for a moment try to imagine a nation where the poor old folks who
have given the toil of their youth to increasing the GNP (or whatever
its called these days) littering the pavement of your city so thick
that you can't walk down the sidewalk. Isn't that what you're
advocating?


No.



You tell me.


I asked you first.
