Ron Paul is the man! He is the only politician who knows what most of us know: that social security is going to go bankrupt, and we will be paying damn near 50% income tax to pay for all these baby boomers, and then not get a damn thing out of it when we retire. The current obligations are about $53 trillion, and your personal share in that is $175,000. Wouldn't you rather hold onto that for your own retirement?
Ron Paul will let you get out of Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid rather than paying it off for the retiring baby boomers. It's gonna fail completely soon. Might as well cut the losses before the losses slit our wrists.
