Sorry. I've lost interest in you.

OK, I'm convinced.

So it is a TAX, right? Since it's NOT a retirement or investment program. Why then is everyone so interested in defending this tax?

The program sucks. It should be OPTIONAL. Let people out of it. Write them a check for everything they had stolen from them over the years - even without interest, they will make out better than actually collecting payments later. That's how much of a pig this program is.
