ironically allowing an employee to invest/save his SS/Medicare tax along with his employer's contribution would achieve savings of 10.4% presently and 12.4% a year, once the payroll tax cut expires.

About time Americans grow up and takes responsibility for themselves rather than the 'woe is me', 'I was abused/bullied/forced fed bad foods/ not informed of the dangers of smoking etc etc. etc., with a hand out attitude that is polluting our country today.
