I, too intend to take Social Security since I want my money back. I am an eye doctor and I take Medicare. Boy do I ever. I take it with every legal slimy trick in the book. There are "legal" ways to work Medicare for more money than you can imagine. All "legal" and legit, but it is revolting for those of us who know right from wrong.
I am TOTALLY against Medicare but I will suck it dry and take every paper dollar I can get. WHY? To get MY INCOME TAX MONEY BACK. Looking back, I have received more in Medicare than I have ever paid in SS taxes and Income Tax. Can you say that? I believe one MUST fight evil with evil and violence with violence. "Turning the other ass cheek" is for losers and dead saviours.
If they got rid of Medicare tomorrow I would be the first to rejoice, but until they do, I will take and take and take and take and use the money to buy gold coins for my kids.
