Sell one and invest the money for them." End Quote

I find it very interesting, though not unexpected, that (here I assume) someone who is a retired Federal employee with a spouse that is the same (plus military) believes that it is MY responsibility (note not the goverenment's) to not only provide for my children's retirement, but to continue to pay for their retirement, as well. This from someone who may well have never contributed a single dollar to the federal coffers. [Here I use simple math...if the government pays you $100 and you return $25 the NET result is the government coffer is down $75.] Why is it that those of us that pay for everything...let me say that again...those of us that pay for everything...the tax payer from the PRIVATE sector, that are considered the ones that do not serve our country? Why is the guy who worked dangerous constuction building a house for me to live in safely any less deserving than the Civil Servant who worked in a comfortable office processing a procurement request? I pay the construction worker for their service and that's it; yet I am forced to pay the government worker until they (and spouse) die. Of course, it's only a "socialist" entitlement program when the money is going to someone else, right?
