The money invested has already been taxed when it was earned initially.

So you're saying money shouldn't be double-taxed? Then why are we double-taxed with Social Security, Medicare...and now...state and local income taxes? That's a double standard.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say you probably don't understand Social Security and Medicare nearly as well as you think you do.
