Default Re: Entitled Selfishness: Good Newsweek article on the consquences of leaving SS as is..

I am self employed as well. I have paying over 15% into this between my personal and business tax. I am always suspect when people want to decide who "needs" this money. If I was forced to contribute to this and promised certain benefits, then I am entitled to them. If I don't "need" the money, why is it anyone's business but my own? I may chose to leave the money to my children or whatever. We already have entitlements for the poor. Otherwise, allow me to opt out of SS and I will glady do so.
