WOULD YOU RATHER HAVE A FUTURE PERSONAL INVESTMENT ACCOUNT,instead of government ...

[Ed Spacer]

No,wallstreet has NOTHING TO DO WITH A PRIVATE CITUZEN GOVERNMENT INVESTMENT ACCOUNT.
because,it will only contain the citizens money.
if a citizen doesnt elect to invest,no money in the account.
plain and simple.
what part of that is not understandable to liberals?

Yeah I want Wall Street theives controlling my SS money.

SO you are so fu..king dumb you probably bury your extra money in your backyard?
Or hide under your mattress?
YOU don't use banks. Strictly barter for your goods and services?

WHERE in the f...k do you think if you have money in the bank THEY put their money?
do they hide it in the ground or under their mattresses?

YOU dumb f...ks mouthing that same stupid idiotic comment "thieves" (NOT THEIVES!)!

Where do you think 70 million people in the country have their $2.8 TRILLION 401k values invested (which I sincerely DOUBT you even know what a "401k" is!..) ?
Under their mattresses, or buried in the back yard?


I am always amazed at how truly DUMB people like you are as evidenced you can't even spell thieves! (Didn't anyone ever tell you the rule "I before "E" Except after "C"?

AND again you missed like ALL YOU IDIOTS miss when you mouth that stupid comment..... IT IS AN OPTION!

YOU can elect to participate or continue to let the GOVT. borrow from SS!!
BESIDES IT's NOT all YOU SS money you dumb f...k!
YOU obviously don't know that your employer contributes a hgher percentage then you so it's NOT your money!
YOU obviously are too stupid to KNOW that every EVERY dollar in SS payments goes right into the GENERAL REVENUE coffers of the government and then spent !
IOUs from the US Govt. are the INVESTMENTS SS buys CLASSIC PONZI scheme!

Another concept YOU evidently have NO knowledge is called "compound interest"!

If when I started working in 1967 for 40 years and had been allowed to have my SS payments go into a 3% FDIC savings account (NOT Wall street you idiot!) I'd had over $600,000 today!
Wouldn't need Medicare.. wouldn't need government sending me a check!
Would be able if I died leave my Granddaughter a nice nest egg!

BUT no! As millions of other now retirees ALL that money I paid in went out to fund the govt! And the payment I get today comes from IOUs!

Social security is not merely an investment vehicle, it also is insurance policy.

The poll options really display the right wing binary thought process well.

Congress has already stolen the money in the SS "trust fund," dipstick.

 

[bripat9643]

I,for one,am responsible for myself only.i will not pay for others,nor expect that for me. Its the power of choice,not imposed imperial force. Thats what a democratic republic is all about.

So you're an anarchist?

He isn't, but I am, and you're a servile bootlicking government-worshipping toady.

 

[Skull Pilot]

Yeah I want Wall Street theives controlling my SS money.

Translated as "Yeah I want the government to use my money for an off the books slush fund so I can retire poorer than if I controlled my own money"

FYI you not anyone on Wall Street would control your investments.

 

[bripat9643]

The average citizen knows very little about investing - and Wall Street knows that.

Social Security and Medicare are great.

Do you own any bridges or swampland in Florida?

 

[bripat9643]

Anarachy is a rebellion against the government.
learn your definitions correctly.

No, actually it's not. Anarchy is the absense of government.

Why anyone would want to be looted and enslaved by government is beyond me.

 

[NYcarbineer]

Social Security would be gone now if Ronald Reagan hadn't compromised with the Democrats in 1983 and saved it.

Blame him, wingnuts, if you want someone to blame.

 

[bripat9643]

$25 billion back to the us citizen out of the hands of the socialist powers that be.

Are you for the socialist military? or the socialist oil welfare? or for the socialist bank welfare?

ROFL! What a dolt. There is no "oil welfare" and, no, I'm not in favor of bailouts to banks or anyone else. That's purely the work of socialist morons like you.

Recognizing the fact that the military has to be run under socialism doesn't make that method of organization ideal for every other productive enterprise.

 

[bripat9643]

Obviously no ones reading this.
has nothing to do with freakin wallstreet.
its a personal future savings account.

Of course it has to do with Wall Street. Who do you think will control your money when SS is privatized?

You will control your own money, dipstick.

 

[bripat9643]

Social security is not merely an investment vehicle, it also is insurance policy.

It's neither. Social Security is a Ponzi scheme.

I'm just curious - in this "brave new world" you envision, what will happen to those who decide they don't want to invest, and would rather have a big screen TV today than a "Citizen Government Investment Account"? When they reach retirement age, do you believe that they will simply be allowed to starve? No, what you are proposing will give those in society that are least responsible another way to cheat the system; they will be destitute at 65 and we will then be on the hook to sustain them. There will be an outcry of "how could we let these people starve, when the rich (or the middle class, or anyone with a few bucks) have so much?" Here is a fable to illustrate what would happen:

The Ant And The Grasshopper (Traditional)The ant works hard in the withering heat all summer long, building his house and laying up supplies for the winter. The grasshopper thinks he’s a fool and laughs and dances and plays the summer away. Come winter, the ant is warm and well fed. The grasshopper has no food or shelter so he dies, out in the cold.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Ant And The Grasshopper (Modern American Version)The ant works hard in the withering heat all summer long, building his house and laying up supplies for the winter. The grasshopper thinks he’s a fool and laughs and dances and plays the summer away.
Come winter, the shivering grasshopper calls a press conference and demands to know why the ant should be allowed to be warm and well fed while others are cold and starving. CBS, NBC and ABC show up to provide pictures of the shivering grasshopper next to a video of the ant in his comfortable home with a table filled with food. America is stunned by the sharp contrast. How can it be that, in a country of such wealth, this poor grasshopper is allowed to suffer so?
Then a representative of the AGB (The Association of Green Bugs) shows up on Nightline and charges the ant with green bias, and makes the case that the grasshopper is the victim of 30 million years of greenism. Kermit the Frog appears on Oprah with the grasshopper, and everybody cries when he sings ‘‘It’s not easy being green.’’
President Obama and Hillary Clinton make a special guest appearance on the CBS Evening News to tell a concerned Katie Couric that they will do everything they can for the grasshopper who has been denied the prosperity he deserves by those who benefited unfairly during the Bush summers.
A congressman exclaims in an interview that the ant has gotten rich off the back of the grasshopper, and calls for an immediate tax hike on the ant to make him pay his ‘‘fair share.’’ Finally, the EEOC drafts the ‘‘Economic Equity and Anti-Greenism Act’’ retroactive to the beginning of the summer. The ant is fined for failing to hire a proportionate number of green bugs and, having nothing left to pay his retroactive taxes, files for bankruptcy, and his home is confiscated by the courts.
Hillary gets her old law firm to represent the grasshopper in a defamation suit against the ant, and the case is tried before a panel of federal hearing officers that President Obama appointed from a list of single-parent welfare moms who can only hear cases on Thursday’s between 1:30 and 3 PM.
The ant loses the case.
The story ends as we see the grasshopper finishing up the last bits of the ant’s food while the government house he’s in, which just happens to be the ant’s old house, crumbles around him since he doesn’t know how to maintain it. The ant has disappeared in the snow. And on the TV, which the grasshopper bought by selling most of the ant’s food, they are showing Nancy Pelosi standing before a wildly applauding group of Democrats announcing that a new era of ‘‘fairness’’ has dawned in America.

Sound at all familiar?
