ml>nice story but it still does not answer the questions i posed...   
   ml>everyone who is working has to pay into the system... if they do not    
   ml>use the monies they paid in by participating in the system, then why   
   ml>cannot others use those monies?? if you allow no one can to them,    
   ml>then you are wasting your monies and showing a very negative    
   ml>charitable side...   
       
    JB> The government is not in the charity business.   
      
   i never said it was but it does (and has for many years) given money to those   
   who do/have not paid into the system...   
      
    JB> If the extra money stays in the system then the government decides    
    JB> who  gets the excess.  If the government returns the money to the    
    JB> people,   
        
   since when?    
      
    JB> then the people decide.  The choice for me is easy.  I trust the    
    JB> people  over the government to make wise decisions with their    
    JB> money.    
      
   once it is given to the government, it is the government's money to do with as   
   it sees fit... once it is out of your hands, it is "out of your hands"...   
   think about it ;)
