Social Security: Needs to strengthened not dismantled

[RDD_1210]

No you are a hypocrite. I don't get government assistance. I get money from a program I was forced to pay into. Send me my money and I won't take any. got it??

Forced to pay in to...just like everyone else who paid in to SS yet you want it to go Private. You get Medicare, unemployment and would surely take SS once you can. That is the definition of hypocrite. Should I get back all my money I've paid in even though I don't get SS or medicare, or unemployment, or food stamps, etc...?[/QUOTE]

You are a flat out bald faced liar. not to mention a hypocrite. and have made my case for privatizing social security. Thank you much.

Do you work?
Are you on Medicare?

Answer those and we'll see who is lying.

I'm sure you'll be tempted to immediately attack the source being that he is an actual socialist, but how about discussing the actual topic itself. What are your thoughts?

Social Security: The program needs to be shored up, not dismantled - latimes.com

Well, it certainly takes away greatly from your credibility, but here goes.

I actually agree that it does ned to be strengthened. But it needs to be strengthened in the sense that doling out money to people who have not paid in is ridiculous. I also believe that it needs to be treated like other investments, If I retire at age 65, croak at age 66, my family should get what I was entitled to.

 

[Soggy in NOLA]

Oh, and it should not be subject to taxation since you've already paid taxes on the earnings used to generate it.

Thanks for the honest response. I agree on the part about only paying those who have paid in and possibly allowing your family to collect after death...but the question is...to what extent and for how long?

Dave, I really wonder if you would have the stomach to actually live in a sink or swim society. Is that really how you want your fellow Americans to live? Most do not make enough to save adequately for retirement - the average salary is between 40 & 50K and salaries are DECREASING due to the glut of people looking for work. That's just the way it is, and costs of living never, ever go down. I really, really hope that you never get the country you are wishing so hard for. What a terrible place to live and die, it would be!

You wish to take care of others thru your earnings... it is your freedom to do so... what you support is the forced submission to your wish.. While I like to give to charities, I fully realize that many do not.. and in a free society, they should not be forced to do so... you, and those like you, wish to have your want to help others taken care of by the contributions of others and NOT by your own pocket... charity by association... and I find it disgusting... the greediest of the greedy
