"...opt out of SS at 18 by signing some afadavit that says you don't have to pay but you don't get assistance either...."

I would have done just that. Even at age 18 (37 years ago) I knew what social security really was. I am very much a saver and I would have saved that amount as well. I would have an *extra* $1,700.000 at age 65 by NOT participating in the pyramid scheme that is social security. Since I "participated" from age 18, I will "partake" at age 65.... (I need it to make those payments on that 150 foot yacht to get me back and forth to my condo on Maui)

You know, this kind of comment isn't funny, and doesn't forward this ground-breaking discussion central to life in Puna.

And minimum wage should be increased until even a high-school dropout in an entry-level job can afford a 150 foot yacht and a condo on Maui.

just looking for scapegoats to blame their own failures is the way most hateful rhetoric is created

the right wing currently the masters of the propaganda style.... too bad its made its way out to hawaii from the politically backward parts of the US

Mr Boeing's (and all the other boomers working the assembly since) providing us all with cheap air fare not always a good thing.......

When you chum the waters to prep for some trolling, any comment on this thread seems fair game. In fact, bringing a boat into a chum-troll discussion is probably the most appropriate thing I've read so far.
