There's something really wrong with that picture...it's more of that bullshit that makes my head want to explode.
There was a vote in Georgia about 20 years ago that allowed state workers to opt out of SS deductions and just rely on their retirements. My particular agency neglected to vote. A neighboring agency DID vote and decided to not contribute to SS. They make less per year salary, but more per month because of it. Many people are putting that extra into their state retirement accounts. I wish I could do that.
