Yup.  It's optional.  The only mandatory "retirement plan" is the Socialist
Security that the Elitists keep stealing from.

But Mike probably doesn't work for a living, so he wouldn't understand any of
this.

Any investment plan has the risk of loss.  Some are just less riskier than
others.  The less risky ones also have a lower rate of return.  That's why when
we are young, we choose the high-return/high-risk plans, but as we get older we
change to the lower risk plans.

But, again, if Mike actually had a real job, he'd know this.

Yup.  Appearantly Mike's masters don't like the idea of America flexing its
power.
