simply agreeing with him that SS and medicare are indeed socialist programs and 2 of the biggest line items on your annual government expenditure list. 

It's not like we have an option

We don't even know how many years or how much he paid in or what he got back out so far 

At 44 unless he was disabled he got nothing of what he paid on until 62

SS? I'm 45 and pretty sure I'm fully vested or whatever

you have your credits to receive SS benefits,  what you will receive if you stopped contributing today is not the same as if you keep contributing.  SS calculates using your 35 highest paying years.

The first U.S. dollar, as it is known today, was printed in 1914 upon the creation of the Federal Reserve Bank. ... After the war, countries linked their currencies to the dollar, which was linked to gold. The gold standard ended, but the dollar's reserve status remained.

The US dollar is NOT tied to gold

Not sure when my employers started taking SS out on my checks, as I said, I started working at age 9 in 1956, at Resort on the Lake where I bought my home later on when I was 18 and married.

Never said it is, NOW.

The U.S. Dollar Hasn't Been Linked to Gold for 45 Years. ... 15, 1971, when President Richard Nixon announced that the decades-old monetary system that had controlled the U.S. dollar—and thus the world's currency values—for more than three decades just wasn't working anymore

Not sure what your point is unless it is to prove mine. Spending fake money

The fact that bhem and analer think they're intellectuals cracks me up 

If you can point to one post where either of us claim to be "intellectuals" then you might not be a complete idiot.
