Wayne, since you don't like Social Security, would you mind terribly giving
your monthly SS check to me?  I could sure use the money, and due to a quirk
of the law I won't qualify for SS or Medicare when I turn 65, or ever.

But imagine....this article is published in TIME MAGAZINE!  I'm sure Moore
could have gone further in lancing the abscess verbally if he wanted to.  He
doesn't name names, exactly, but I think he goes pretty far in suggesting
that Madoff is merely a scapegoat who serves to conceal the real
racketeering.
