No, it's an understanding that we have an obligation to our elderly when they are no longer able to work.
It's what a civilized society does.
Frankly, what you guys want is all the advantages of living in a civilized society and none of the responsibilities.
The sooner the GOP tells you Libertarian loons to fuck off, the better.
If the crooks in the government let people keep the 15% of their income that is stolen for the slush fund then people would be able to take care of themselves without the government being involved.
And we can't have that now can we?
I keep a copy of my Q4 2008 401K statement as a reminder of how much the 'private sector' can be trusted to "take care" of me in my old age.
That's the one where the money I seeded into it over the previous six years vanished in about six months.
The only crooks I see are the 1%ers who whing about how much they are paying in taxes when they ride their dressage ponies.
Social security is nothing but forced dependence on government, a fact that you sheep are too stupid to realize.
Once again we see the parasite class is not paying their fair share while the upper class in this nation are burdened with paying damn near everything.
The bottom 50% earns 12% of the wealth but pays just 2% of the taxes. Meanwhile the top 1% earns 19% of the wealth but pays 37% of the taxes.

So you think that money management skills are something that the vast majority of Americans are good at eh? Got any proof of that. Or are you just dreaming?
My observations as a mortgage loan officer for 18 years were that the majority of citizens sucked at managing their money. But granted, I wan't talking to millions of Americans.
I am sure your experience is much different. What do you do that makes you think our fellow citizens are good at managing money?
Social security is nothing but forced dependence on government, a fact that you sheep are too stupid to realize.
No, social security is a service that the government provides for you that allows you not to have to fuck with putting money aside, and managing it, etc., your whole working life. And they do it in a highly efficient manner.
I've been getting SS for a short time and it pays my bills. My 2 pensions pay for my fun. I am very thankful the government took that money out of every paycheck I ever earned.
What's the lie? I don't know of anyone denying that the richest Americans pay higher taxes than the poorest Americans.

It's not rocket science.
I can give you a list of hundreds of no load low cost mutual funds that have out performed the S&P for 20 years or better.
And why is it my responsibility if other people are too lazy or stupid to learn even the basics of handling their own money.
And if people are too stupid or too lazy to learn they can buy US treasury bonds and that way guarantee they will live in the same impoverished standard allowed by the current SS scheme while those who decide to be responsible and learn about investing will retire much wealthier.

That's your problem you expect other people to take care of you.
And stop whining about the stock market. You would be free to invest your 15% in US treasury bonds if you wanted to that way you could be assured of living just as impoverished as if you allowed the government to steal your money for SS.
What's the lie? I don't know of anyone denying that the richest Americans pay higher taxes than the poorest Americans.
It's not the amount it's the disproportionate percentage.

If you did that, we would be taking care of you. Taxation is not theft. You are not right. This will not change. Move to another country with taxation more to your liking.

It's only in the top ten percent if you look at that chart and the only remedy would be to cut taxes for those ten percent and raise everyone else's,
including yours I'm guessing.
Skull Pilot, you and millions of others want to privatize your profit and socialize the risk on the rest of us.
Not going to happen.

Efficient?
My ass. If you actually took the time to calculate how much money has been taken from you for Ss and then figure out what that money would be worth if you saved it yourself in a balanced portfolio you would be disgusted at how poorly the government handled your money
