My Retirement plan? Not funded by the government. Social security? For the love of God let me opt out. I never signed up for it and I am a better steward of my money than the governmemt. Same for Medicare. I didn't sign up, and I don't want to partake. Tax deductions? Really? How is me only giving 32% rather than 35% of my income me using a government program? Please explain. Seems You made a retared argument and you're really grasping at straws here.
