And if todays contributors build up a bigger benefit, you've delayed, but not prevented, the
future collapse.

Unlikely.

What is unlikely?

Collapse of the system based on more investment being put into the system.

ah, you mean this?>>

this is a manifestation of valuation created out of thin air

and worth about as much

I wrote a derivative contract on the Bears-Eagles game today.
The notional value was $4.6 billion.
Should I be worried?

I have a better idea. Keep your hands off of my investments, before and after my death.

Do you oppose taxes on all capital gains, or only those passed through to beneficiaries?
You tax enough of my money to begin with...

Unions in the public sector need to be outlawed.

Yes! Immediately.

Agreed!

Private sector unions have a safety catch...If the union demands too much the business goes under & everybody is hurt.

Public sector unions have no such safety catch...the taxpayer is on the hook for all of it while the politician gets all the union votes.

Just like all the unions supporting obamacare but demanding to be exempted from it!
