Social Security myth and the battle over its finances
In this opinion piece the author argues Social Security is bankrupt like Penn Central, maintained by rising payroll taxes and charity rather than solvency. It accuses the trust funds of being welfare and claims the program pays unequal benefits for equal tax, penalizes older workers who work, and disputes the federal pamphlet claim of a guaranteed pooled fund.

What is the Law on Life Insurance and Mail Privacy
The text explains that a life insurance beneficiary can collect even without a will because the policy is a contract not an estate asset.
