Who needs to pay benefits when you have SNAP (food), Medicaid (healthcare), Obamacare (healthcare), FICA (retirement), SSDI (disability), unemployment insurance and more! The government already has you covered for everything.

Aside, from that, you should win an webby award for "Best Post Title -- Pun or Comedy".
