I just know taxes are taxes and if I don't want to be taxed change my income. Social security doesn't matter depending upon other things but when you combine several incomes and don't need to work that is how I like things and after my wife is 102 who cares. Heck I'll be long gone before she reaches that age but she is set. Now screwing with the world financial system indeed will dent my feathers rather quickly as the government will screw with some that have managed well.
