Holy fuck, did you not attend school for English?So the federal government must wear the badge of dishonor, because if true what you say, then they have stolen the people's money without care. Yet isn't it funny how they found all that money for COVID relief, and are able to just go out back to the money tree, and find billion's for a war we have no business being a part of ?? Yes, drop leaflets, negotiate for peace, drop food rations and such, but send them weapon's of war that is getting their country destroyed, and getting their infrastructure wiped out ???? Makes absolutely no sense, and it flies straight back into the citizen's faces who gave it their all in this country.
If you serve your country in the military from 18 to 37 years young, then guess what ? He or she can retire from the military, and then draw his or her earned military retirement benefits of 20 years service. Then the retired military vet gets all kinds of perks in the private sector for being military when they purchase product's and such. Next if they chose, they can get a job in the private sector, and it doesn't effect their military retirement benefits.Our workforce and employers desperately need their workers retiring EARLIER than 55, not lol after than 55.
If you struggle with what I wrote, then it's you who needs a few more courses in comprehension. But I don't think it's that, I just think that you couldn't refute or deal with the post, so you attempt to use bull crap to cover your lack of rebuttal up.Holy fuck, did you not attend school for English?
Look old white retired dude, I’m going to need better white grievance complaining or just better English.If you struggle with what I wrote, then it's you who needs a few more courses in comprehension.

Agree on eliminate the cap.Better idea is to eliminate the cap on SS contributions. If you make less than (I think it's $131,000 a year) you pay a SS tax on every dollar you make. If you Make more than $131,000 a year, you stop paying on dollar $131,001. Simply not fair.
We shouldn't have seniors and others living in squalor because they were not as fortunate as some. And, yes, there will be some who were simply irresponsible with their earnings through their lifetimes.
Usually the first people to reject this fairness principle are the right wing loons--the "let them die" crowd. Unimaginably cruel...but that is their thing. They get some joy out of causing as much misery as possible for people whom they never met. What is bizarre about their stance is that they are also the first to swear that seniors are being screwed because of inflation. In one voice they are saying "Inflation is gutting the seniors" and in the next breath they state, "Well, gramps, you should have planned for this."
Candycorn said all that, and attacked the republican's, but yet can't figure out why the damned thing has never been resolved/fixed even when the Democrat's hold the power in all three branches at various times also.Agree on eliminate the cap.
Life is not even handed and fair,
people may work hard & be responsible until a negative happens, Could be health issues, extreme health issues with childern. bad marriages, unforeseen investments that went south, dumb government moves. Old enough to be drafted with no deferments. Born poor in bad environment. The list is endless.
WTF do you expect a world power to do?Candycorn said all that, and attacked the republican's, but yet can't figure out why the damned thing has never been resolved/fixed even when the Democrat's hold the power in all three branches at various times also.
The bottom line is that some thing's in government have a bipartisan agreement going on with both sides of the isle on some issue's, and undoubtedly this issue is one of them.
There is no excuse for they way the thing is set up, and how it punishes people like it does after they gave it their all.
Meanwhile the government can pump billion's into another COUNTRY, and put our national security at the highest risk ever, but we are just supposed to think to ourselves that hey it's all good, nothing to see here folk's. The corruption is off the chain in this country. We can do better -MAGA.
Huh ?WTF do you expect a world power to do?
Are you hiding under your table now from Ghina? Or Russia?Huh ?
If you have some sort of preconceived notion that this ole boy is hiding from anything, then you have lost your Cotton picking mind.. lol.Are you hiding under your table now from Ghina? Or Russia?
Yes there's always the unintended, but we can work through it all in order to tweak the system, and therefore make it better. Like anything, just allowing the status quo to never be challenged or worked on, then we end up being unfair to those we should have strived to do better for. Once generation's pass, and the new generation's see the disrespect given those that came before them, then we end up with a rebellious generation that could give a dam less about helping to keep a system going that they already know is bull shite. Probably why we got the mess we got going on with the new generation's we are dealing with today.It seems to me as if this plan is very much geared toward consistent 40-hour-week workers, and would have a hard time applying to others.
For example, the system seems to mean that the self-employed would never reach retirement age. Same with those with long-term disabilities, stay-at-home parents, personal caregivers and, presumably, anyone who spends part of their life in another country. The end result would be a lot of people over the current retirement age who aren't eligible for any assistance, which would create an entire class of the aged poor, which is what we had before Medicare, Social Security, and so on.
On the other hand, every industry would lose a lot of workers age 58-65, especially if you allowed double time to count for double years, or something. For many places, that would be their most experienced workers.
It's always a best practice to stretch your imagination and come up with new ideas, even if they don't work out, but I think this one would have piles of unintended consequences that would do more harm than good.
Racism is generational, it's the white grievance fuckups that are the new problem.Yes there's always the unintended, but we can work through it all in order to tweak the system, and therefore make it better.

Are you never not a racist ?Racism is generational, it's the white grievance fuckups that are the new problem.

What about this folks !
Time to fix Social security retirement in this country, and incentivize the workforce in doing so.
Let me explain :
Instead of doing it by maturity dates and/or by one's age, why not just do it by (year's worked in total only), otherwise regardless of the overall ending age and working dates that are set in some sort of weird way (where as the current set up appears to work more for the government in hopes that it won't have to pay out to the retiree their money, and maybe it's all in hopes that the retiree expires before the money is paid out in full) ?????
So let's use 40 year's as the maturity date, and the time set to pay after that 40 year's has been accomplished.
Example: if start work at 16, and work paying into one's social security for 40 year's total, then that person should be able to retire with full benefits at 56 years old. If start @ 20 years old then you retire at 60 years old with full benefits. If start at 25 years old, then you could retire at 65 year's old, but not before then unless take a big cut in those benefit's.
65 will remain the maturity date for anyone joining the workforce after 25 years old, and working for 40 year's paying into social security.
This gives the incentive for the young crowd to do the math, and then get to work on their 40 year time period regardless of their age starting in the workforce (the sooner the better).
Age 65 is required to retire at full retirement benefits through Social security, otherwise if started in the workforce at 25 year's young, and then worked to 65.
Age 65 would remain the ideal date that gives retirement to all worker's regardless of when they enter the work force after 25 year's of age, and attempt to work for 40 years, but a minimum of 15 years must be worked in order to draw anything, and it can't be drawn on until the 65 year's of age requirement is met.
Where am I wrong on this sort of stuff ?
We need to incentivize the young folk's with a long term strategy that makes them see a reward coming if they work hard and do the right thing in life.
