36% have no nest egg- thank god SS is in good shape...26% age 50-64...
Social Security, a socialist program. I love to hear right winger rant about the evils of socialism. What republican programs have helped them? How many of them try to convince their grannies not to take evil socialist social security or medicare, and they'll take care of their aged relatives themselves as per righteous republican principles?
It really is a travesty that we can't opt in or out of this ponzi scheme.
SS is a pragmatic, wise, necessary, and proper program acknowledging the fact that those who work hard, do the right thing, and save for retirement need not be thrown into poverty when they can no longer work as a consequence of capricious economic forces beyond their control.
It is the cornerstone of a civil society and America's economic success; where the notion of 'getting rid' of SS/Medicare is reckless, irresponsible insanity.
Social Security will not exist when I retire. It will be devoured by the Baby Boomers who are consumed with greed and have no regard for the well being of future generations, unlike their parents who made countless sacrifices for them.
So just thinking about your stupid poster you put up and thinking how does this math add up? Social security has no assets. That was brought into the general fund years ago and only gets paid out with current tax income.We lost a big chunk of our investments with the Bush crash but what if all the money in our SS accounts had been in the stock market?
Those who have no investments should be really glad their SS money wasn't in stocks.

My goodness, where are you going to spend all of that 1,200 bucks a month?I get mine in December and boy am I looking forward to it! We have been struggling for a long time...since I had to stop working and SSI wouldn't say yes when I applied.

Everyone should be given a choice to opt in or out of SS. Many can make wiser decisions than a small penance from the govt. You can't even pass it on to your family other than your wife....and its your money.
