Again, you aren't paying into anything, you are paying for current consumption with your payroll taxes. The belief that you are paying into the system for your own future consumption is the fundamental flaw in the system, the fairy tale that keeps getting repeated and the lie that Republican ideas on how to actually make the fantasy reality over time attempt to address.

I was right...Pond scum and anthrax ARE higher life-forms on the evolutionary scale.

That's pretty funny.......you put the debt clock in your post like you believe that Romney/Ryan will actually make a dent in that debt? You have indeed drunk the conservative kool-aid. The only debt that will go down is that of the corporations and the wealthy....they have no plan to lower the debt, only to lower income for the middle class, lower taxes for the wealthy and the corporations, and lower the standard of living for the entire nation. Until the conservatives get off their lower taxes and never increase revenue platform, that debt will continue to rise, and the middle class (you know, those consumers who drive this economy) will continue to shrink.
Trickle down? we got the down....but we never got the trickle.
Archer what you are hypothesizing the Republicans will do is already being done for a fact under Obama. Less jobs. More debt. More wealth disparity and if he is elected for four more years. It will be deja vu all over again. At least "W" got growth over 1%

Actually, with medicare the small 1.45%x2 payroll tax only pays for part A current consumption. Part B and D are mostly funded with general tax revenues, deficit spending, and medicare premiums.
IMO the small medicare payroll tax creates a false perception that "I've paid for it", when it actually costs a lot more. The first step to reform is understanding the actual costs and revenues.
