Social security is the kind of thing that everyone should be glad to pay, and crosses their fingers they'll never need it.

I'd rather have a part of my income goes there and have the ability to bounce back if life gives me lemons, instead of ending up in a bottomless spiral of poverty I have no hope to get out of.

90 and not happy paying taxes? Save us all some trouble and move on to the graveyard

Yes, of course you are. That's why taxes are mandatory and you go to jail if you don't pay.

That's a really dumb argument. A person complains about paying for something that they'll never get, and the IndyStar's response is to complain about paying for something that they've already benefited from, and that was paid for by others. I would further add, paying for schools is a great thing even if you don't have and will never have kids. Without good schools, everyone else's kids will probably grow up to be conservatives or editors at the IndyStar.
