Many times state employees can pay into a retirement fund of their own and avoid social security taxes. What annoys me is that money earmarked "social security" actually goes for all sorts of other government spending. It's like the government wants us to believe all that money is going to the old folks, but actually it's just going to some Senator's favorate slush fund or the war in Iraq. Damned hypocrits!
