The average income is $1200 a month on Social Security. That's nothing.

Which is why Bush wanted to allow younger workers to be able to have 4% of our SS contribution go to private accounts, but the greedy Boomers would have none of that.

Thats how we will eventually ween ourselves off of SS.

3 Texas counties opted out if SS before that was outlawed. Their retirees get about twice what they would under SS, and the money is theirs to pass down to their kids.

How Three Texas Counties Created Personal Social Security Accounts and Prospered

Three Texas counties opted out of Social Security 30 years ago by switching to personal accounts, and those workers have made money every year.

Yes the wealthy will get more, but the bald fact is that only about 44% of American workers have ANY kind of private retirement plan, and those are the ones at the higher end of the income spectrum. The same 40% of Americans who need income supports, have no retirement plans at all.

So you want to dump the only income that the poorest elderly people will ever have, because the middle class and wealthy can do better economically on their own. That means that the middle class and the wealthy are going to have to support the elderly that they refused to pay a living wage to when they were running their businesses.

No such thing as a "living wage".

We BOOMERS created this society, this economy, and no little pencil-neck, fake martial artist, Gen-Xer like you can do anything about it except show us your envy. Get a job and pay for our retirement....STAT!

Other countries have a far more robust social safety net. Canada sends out income supports to families with income under $70,000 per year. The maximum is $5000 per year per child. Our Employment Insurance for up pays for 36 weeks.

Try fielding your own Military....Your canuckistan is nothing more than an ugly stepchild to the US. We let you transship crap chi-com steel into the US for years before Trump. We continue to buy your filthy tar-sand oil and even let you build a pipeline across the US to Houston...the only place on the planet that can make a profit off that crap. You hid under our defense umbrella while screwing us on trade while we let your goods in duty-free, again, before Trump. USMCA will probably have Trudy (is still appearing in blackface?) begging for foreign aid. How about taking in say 20M inner-city black Americans and see what happens to your "safety net}? You still belong to the freaking QUEEN of England! Your history began with Torey traitors running from our Continental Army....Your PMs have openly sided with American enemies in the ME....BIG DEAL...you give away free monopoly dollars (worth 69 cents US) to your losers.....so good for you.....Try protecting yourself for a change and fair trade....we'll see how long the give-aways last, eh? eh? eh?
