Don't you guys live in a fantasy land called a socialist utopia? We tried that under FDR and we don't want to be forced fed it anymore. Even FDR would join the tea party with Obama in charge.
The first act of 'socialist utopianism' of FDR was to back the banks, a good idea put off until almost too late in 1933 and quite possibly the reason that we haven't experienced 1933-style conditions.
So if you want to put your money where your mouth is, put your money into some unregulated investments, refuse to let Medicare pay for your medical treatments when you are old, and either reject Social Security or forward the payment to some cause that you consider worthy -- maybe donating it to some giant corporation as a grant?
I prefer to not be starved at the whim of some tycoon or corporate bureaucrat, and I prefer that old age not be a time of destitution.
