>>Bob; When you are old enough to apply for social security, I hope that you refuse to accept it because the American Labor movement got that legislation for you.

I can't speak for Bob, but on behalf of myself I would gladly turn down Social Security, if the "American Labor Movement" would be kind enough to immediately return to me all the money which I paid into the the system and factor in the half my employers have paid in because those payments reduce their money available to pay to me as a salary.

If you want to champion Unions, fine go ahead. Unions should be voluntary, Social Security isn't voluntary. Let unions worry about their members, those of us who don't join will take care of ourselves. This isn't an anti-union statement this is an anti-Social Security statement.
