Why I am worried about losing my Social Security check.

[Resnic]

When I retire I honestly don't expect it to be there. If it is then it will be a nice surprise.

 

[Mr Natural]

And the fix could not be easier:

ELIMINATE THE EARNINGS CAP!

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

Eliminate the earnings cap.

Problem solved.

Great idea! How much more are you going to try and tax the rich? Will they have any money left at all when you get through?

Brilliant idea, if you eliminate the earnings cap you have to eliminate the maximum SS benefit.

I am worried about my Social Security check and here is why:

Based on what has been happening in the United States with the recent brazen stolen election right before the eyes of the American people, some conclusions can be drawn about the future of the human race. If we retrace the steps that are leading to the destruction of democracy in the world’s greatest democracy, we can see that everything in the empirical world is constructed of an alternate reality.

Human populations are comprised of percentages whereby the cleverest one percent of the human species attain the most comfortable existence by tricking the remaining ninety nine percent into believing the one percent (government) is acting in their interest when actually that one percent is dedicated their eventual extinction. Overpopulation is the bane of all biology and this includes human biology. So, it is in the interest of the most intelligent Darwinian examples to eventually kill off the lower of the species in order to maintain a balanced and manageable population.

This is essentially what happened in the US as its leadership conspired with other distant leaders to create a global biological disease as a controlling mechanism to discipline the people for their insolence in electing a problematic antagonist of government. The great danger is that government in the US may have gotten over its skis in its corruption and heisting of that important election. If the people lose trust in a crucial election, they lose trust in all elections. When the people are deprived of the only control they have over their circumstances, desperation is the predictable outcome and that could lead to the violent overthrow of the system.

If fifty million people decide to rush the Capitol and not leave a brick standing because their elections were stolen from them, Washington will be powerless to stop it. No election in the future of the US will ever be trusted again after the government swindle that just took place and no distracting and absurd impeachment trial is going to make the American people stupid enough to swallow the scam.

You will never get what I am getting because the US government stole the pension system from you to appease the People’s Republic of China. But I could lose mine if the people finally wake up and realize that Washington has sold them out.

The government conspired with a foreign government to create a diabolical disease? Hmm, interesting then that the same government went out of its way to create a vaccine to protect the population. If I headed some diabolical government that wanted a diabolical disease created to wreak havoc on the human population, I wouldn't seek a vaccine for the general public, especially the elderly. I'd let it run rampant until the overall population was reduced by two-thirds, then implement strict family limits.
You.....need to either get back on your meds, or get off what you're on.

I thought you folks hated socialism? That's all Social Security is, ya know. Screw Social Security, if you want money, get a job. If you want three hots and a cot, go to prison.

Actually, no Social Security originally had no socialism in it at all.
Originally you only you ONLY got back what you put in, with a modest 3% interest.
None of the money was to come from anyone else.
But they changed it so that now there is a minimum you get even if you never worked and paid in during your whole life.
They also hooked ADC and disability into Social Security since it has such as cash cow.
But mostly Social Security is just your own money, so it not really socialism.
Not that I mind socialism.
I think socialism is great.

You got it backwards.
There is no way they could have created these vaccines so quickly, so they must have had the vaccine long before the epidemic.
Likely they designed the vaccine from the SARS epidemic of 2009, and now they are just making sure the vaccine is profitable by ensuring there is an epidemic for it to cure. It is the covid virus that took them so long. They likely started working on it right after they had the vaccine around 2011.

What tripe. Not leave a brick standing? You want to destroy the Republic for a moron like Trump?

Trump and the rigged 2020 election just showed the depth of the Swamp and the existence of the Deep State to many people in our nation.

If Trump runs again those people will likely vote for him. If he doesn’t the Trump supporters will be looking for another candidate who puts America first and wants to make it great again.

No, there is no one who predicts Social Security won't be insolvent for about 20 years. Its the Boomer bubble.
Too many elderly that need payouts, and not enough people paying in.
Actually Social Security has had many years in which it paid out more than was paid in, but the general fund has been borrowing from the Social Security surplus, so that payback has covered the temporary shortfall.
But by 2035 they predict a train wreck.
Social security will had to decrease payments by about 25% or increase payins significantly somehow.

Social Security Projected Insolvent by 2035. COVID-19 Is Moving That Date Up

SSA Commissioner: “The projections in this year’s report do not reflect the potential effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Social Security program."

Social Security Projected Insolvent by 2035. COVID-19 Is Moving That Date Up​

Posted by Chad Stone | Apr 22, 2020 | News

...
The asset reserves of the Old-Age and Survivors Insurance Trust and the Disability Insurance Trust are used to fund Social Security, and the 2020 report projects this money will be depleted by 2035, which means payouts will be reduced to 79% of what beneficiaries receive normally.

Here are some of the big takeaways regarding Social Security’s insolvency, per SSA press release:

• The asset reserves of the combined OASI and DI Trust Funds increased by $2.5 billion in 2019 to a total of $2.897 trillion.
• The total annual cost of the program is projected to exceed total annual income, for the first time since 1982, in 2021 and remain higher throughout the 75-year projection period. As a result, asset reserves are expected to decline during 2021. Social Security’s cost has exceeded its non-interest income since 2010.

And the fix could not be easier:

ELIMINATE THE EARNINGS CAP!

Brilliant idea, if you eliminate the earnings cap you have to eliminate the maximum SS benefit.

You do? Why?

You would have to eliminate the maximum SS benefit if you eliminated the earnings cap because any money they take from you for SS, has to then later be paid back to you.
It is not a tax and social benefit program.
It is your money they simply defer taxes on and invest for you, to later be returned with about 3% interest.

I would imagine that you could do both remove the maximum contributions and limit payout at a later date if they really wanted to...but if not...I'm not seeing a downside really.

 

[Juicin]

It’s only a matter of time they will take away your Social Security because you’re white.

You’ve been privileged to pay into by having a job all your adult life. Now it’s time to give those funds to some third world immigrants who deserve it more than you.

Third world immigrants are the highest earning ethnic grou pin this country outside jews you vapid little prick

Nigerian immigrants on average make much more than whites. Welcome to reality

Of course you don't see a downside, because you're dumb as a rock and feel you can benefit from someone else's hard work.

So, based on a "stolen election" (which is hilarious because the US isn't even democratic in the first place) you think you're going to lose some money......

Perhaps if you entered reality for a few minutes, you'd see things differently.

Not sure how they could limit payout, but the problem with removing the maximum payin is that it avoid taxes.
If everyone started paying in much more, then every year we would an increasing budget shortfall due to reduced tax revenue.

Third world immigrants are the highest earning ethnic grou pin this country outside jews you vapid little prick

Nigerian immigrants on average make much more than whites. Welcome to reality

So why not give those jobs to Americans that need them?

Oh yea because our minorities are dumbed down to the lowest IQ possible thanks to Democrats and their education system. Typical Democrats, make people so stupid they can’t get good and technical jobs, then say we need to import third world people to fill them.

WE DON'T HAVE BABIES. No one has ever sustained 2.1 children per woman as a rich developed nation (replacement rate). Japan, Germany, UK, Scandis. Richer you get the lower your birth rate. Average age of white Americans is 57 for that reason. White Americans got rich and then white women stopped having babies, only religious women have babies at anything close to historical rates.

Closing the borders is no longer an option. At least not until we have artificial wombs and can pump little super babies out of factories.

We need more geniuses. For more GDP. More soldiers. More consumers etc

fuck, you want to be a nationalist? Rule number 1 of nationalism. More people is always better. Especially geniuses in 2021 where they're the ones who have the best shot of coming up with some miracal tech that propels our economy and standard of living forward.

If rich people could sustain 3 child per women your comment would make sense. As it is we just need more people.

At the rate we're going there are going to be 10 times as many Indians as Americans. When that happens no matter how big of a mess India is they will be a powerhouse that dwarfs China. The Chinese are already entering a demographic death spiral like us, but can't handle mass immigration. So we may luck out there. But barring artificial wombs. Huge mass immigration is the only rational position of a good nationalist. Especially an American one who can properly assimilate literally any ethnic group.

Keeping the illegals out is fine. But only to shove in more geniuses to assimilate and add to our GDP and technical expertise. Illegals are still good from a nationalist perspective. I have no problem doing that on the low end for the poor's standard of living, i think low IQ people should be taken care of, there is just no consistent way to test IQ without people purposely failing for a check. There are very very few legal poor immigrants. In 2021 it's an expensive and pain in the ass to get here. Crossing the border illegally is a bit too easy to have such a filtering effect.

Yes it will bring engineers wages down to ship in hundreds of thousands a year. But some of those engineers will have babies and our IQ's will increase and we will hedge against the breeders.

As a half Indian* it's crazy to think that by simply fucking they're going to attain world domination. But at this point that's the trajectory we're on unless we get to fucking or assimilating a lot of people.
