If I could change one thing I would eliminate the social security system. I mean completely eliminate it. Everyone who paid into it who didn't receive benefits would get their money back and people who are on it now would be the very last people. After they die no one else would have to pay into the system and no one would receive benefits. It would just disappear. Social Security is one of the largest boondoggles of the century if not the millenium.

Cool, tell ya what though, when you become diabled by an accident of your own fault, or become ill, God forbid, in 10 years or so and all your rescources/money are gone paying for prescriptions/treatment, we'll just shoot you since you'll have no means to support yourself! I'm not making excuses for anyone but, I do know of two people in their mid-thirties, one was seriously injured in a auto accident avoiding a deer, the other has serious health problems and SSD of about $1500 a month is their only means of income. What happens after you implement this and this happens to you?
