How is that different from "investment"?
1) People choose to make investments. People "choose" to pay taxes at the end of a gun.
2) When investments go bad, investors should lose their money. But if you're the government, you just steal the wealth and future from the next generation.
You always purport to have a sense of fairness, so tell me this: Exactly how fair is it that you are about to cash-out on your share of the ponzi scheme? You've talked about everyone paying their "fair share" to make society better. Couldn't your "fair share" be dramatic reductions in your Medicare and SS windfall so future generations have a chance? You've got what, 20 years left? What about today's youth that have 50-70 years ahead of them? Shouldn't you lead by example?
