Now Is The Time To Raise The Retirement Age

[DrLove]

Successful people never retire. Retirement is just career number 2 or even 3.

Sure it is, for you sitting at home as hubby works his butt off - Amiright?

The Republican tax bill will add to our federal debt. This glaring truth causes the monkeys to slap their hands over their eyes. "We no care bout debt any more!"

Because of PayGo, these deficits caused by the tax bill will have to be paid for by cutting spending on entitlement programs. You know, we have to tear those lazy, shiftless poor people away from their steak and champagne dinners and get them into the fields picking cotton.

But here's a better, saner idea to save our national treasury: Raise the Social Security and Medicare eligibility ages to 70, and index them to 9 percent of the US population.

We are living longer, we should be working longer.

Common sense.

Bull shit.....fuck you and fuck the congress.....the only mf's who are living longer or them white bastards in washington who literly have to die to leave office, because of tax payers taking care of their ass's. I'm about to drop fuckin dead from my job, I wish they would raise the retirement, death to them bastards if they do

Bullshit. the only mfs who stay on jobs after 65 are mf with easy money jobs that allow them to do nothing. Manual labor low paying jobs...we want out at 62

The fact that you are almost certainly enjoying an overpaid pension by some leftist government institution explains your views in complete detail.

Yep would be good to cut it, Middle aged and stopped working, who do you think pays for your free shit?

Trumplings should abandon their love for the phrase "free shit"
Cuz that's what the new Republican tax plan just gave the top 1% who will now get 86% of the spoils

When a pseudocon gets a deduction or exemption or credit which is paid for by higher tax rates on every taxpayer, they call that "getting to keep more of my own money" when it is in fact theft that is taken from the pockets of every taxpayer and a considerable portion is borrowed from China.

"Gimme gimme gimme, and make that guy over there pay for it."

But when a poor person gets food stamps, the very same sucklings don't fail to point the finger and call it "free shit".

I am going to disagree with that. If someone has not paid into the system and is getting benefits I believe that's fair to be labeled "Free Shit". If a super wealthy person is given a cut in taxes, that is different because the taxes come straight out of the wealthy person's earnings.
They pay the lion's share of America's taxes right? Without the wealthy, the government would have problems keeping poor people fed.

The average life expectancy today is somewhere around 78. In 1935, when Social Security was established, it was 60. Five years UNDER the retirement age.

In 1935, only 5.4% of the population was over 65. Today, 15% of the population is over 65.

The number of workers supporting a retiree is getting smaller and smaller. This is an unsustainable trend.

We are living longer, we should be working longer.

Wow. You really want to grind the poor workers into dust. How very socialist of you.

Did you people whine so much when Obammy added trillions to the debt?

Yes!

That is one of the dumber things I have read on this forum. What is the point of being successful if you cannot take the time to enjoy it. I am successfully by any measure in this country and you can bet I will retire the day that it is most advantageous for me to do so.

So many golf course and so little time.

We can agree on that .. people are indeed living longer.
Wonder what happens when Trumpcare kicks 13 million off their health insurance?

Nobody is getting kicked off health care...

It's called choice dumb ass...

Raising the SS retirement age is socialist? I'm confused.

Do you think that average life expectancy should be taken into account with SS retirement age? Do you think SS retirement age should ever be raised?

How long til you reach retirement age?

No matter what, I plan on working until I am 70. Maybe even 80. I would not be able to stand being idle.

That's nice.

so, because YOU'RE fine with working that long, you want to make it mandatory for everyone else?

We are living longer, we should be working longer. Don't be so lazy. Your attitude is the exact entitlement mindset which is destroying our country.

"Gimme gimme gimme, and make that guy over there pay for it."

not everyone has a job sitting on your ass behind a desk all day....some people have jobs that are physical and many of those jobs break the body down...should they be forced to work until they are 70?...

Harry, I work at a desk all day....I have RA up my arms, my shoulders, my legs.....I leave work every single day, in pain. And as soon as I hit 62, I clocking OUT!!!!!

The sheer irony in all this, we're rewarding a institution who a decade ago, almost took this economy to the edge of complete destruction. No one went to jail and Trump and the GOP is thanking them for it.

Then go for it. dont' start collecting your SS til you are in your 70s, possibly your 80s.

But don't force it on those that want to start collecting it at 65, and taking it easy.

No, free shit is giving something to someone that is not already theirs.

If a robber pulls a gun on you, takes all your money from your wallet, then before leaving gives you twenty for cab fair, only you would classify that as accepting free shit, Right?

Dude, that's just stupid - but there's been no shortage of that from you today has there?
Are you in the top 1% making over half a million a year and enjoying 86% of the spoils of the awesome new tax law at the expense of hardworking middle-class folk and believing that is somehow righteous?
If so, be the fuck ashamed

How close are you to the top 1%? - CNNMoney

So you’re the thief then.

Got it
