Any time you want to join up in a successful movement to force the GOVERNMENT to cut me a refund check with earned interest WITH THE INTEREST RATE SET AT THE TIME OF CONTRIBUTION TO THE CURRENT DATE, for both my SS and Self-Employment contributions ... just let me know.

Now, I know you guff-balls on the JV Team would rather talk about me and my "government benefits' rather than YOUR PRESIDENT and his "government benefits" and "fuck ups" ... but that's not the thread topic.
