Sure it does.

Accepting a Social Security benefits check... which is socialism...
while complaining about socialism, especially saying that socialists
ought to be killed... is just outright hypocrisy.


I'd happily forgo my Social Security check later in life as long as I
am exempt from paying FICA today.



Remember that SS is for more than retirement. Should you get hit by a
truck tomorrow, and are unable to work, you get to collect.


I buy personal disability insurance for that kind of thing.



If the truck kills you, your wife and kids (assuming you have any) also
collect.


That's why my life policy is for.



And I'll bet you have less coverage, and pay more than SS.

Max SS for 1995 is $1939/month -- indexed to cost of living


My policy is $8400/month, tax-free, payable to age 65, and also indexed
to cost of living.

It ain't cheap, but I know it will be there when I need it. And I don't
have to worry about the government monkeying around with it and paying me
a few cents on the dollar because they mismanaged it.






May I ask who is your policy with, and what is the cost (compared to SS)

I had a Berkshire policy and two Guardian policies, but the two companies
have since merged.

I'll have to get back to you on the cost. Most of it's paid quarterly
through auto-debit, but one of the policies is paid monthly. I'll add them
up and let you know. My life policy is for $1.5m...and the premium is about
thousand/year. I also have a business overhead expense policy that costs
me about $320/quarter...but that only pays out for a couple of months in
the event of a disability.
