If that's the case, then how many wealthy people would give it back to the government. You and I were just saying what we would do.

No matter how wealthy a person is, I'm sure they'd still stoop down to pick up loose change on the ground.

I would venture that far more than the amount the wealthy collect in SS is donated to charity by them. Of course I am talking about the real wealthy not a family of four earning $200K.
