We never intended Social Security to be your total retirement system. It was expected that workers would own homes and have a financial nest egg to ensure they could retire comfortably
Then we allowed ourselves to destroy that nestegg. Leave a worker barely enough to live on and forget about saving for the future. Go into debt if you want your children to be educated. God forbid you get seriously ill and your life savings are gone. This is the society we have created and it is an embarrassment for a great nation
Well, actually I do. I get you're a product of the public education system, so we'll cut you a break.
But what's really disturbing is that you appear to have no idea what a free society is. March on comrade...
Now you have me curious
Tell us about your free society
It's called a Constitutional Republic where government is limited to specific enumerated powers beyond which they cannot meddle.
Look into it sometime comrade.
They could find completely competent people to do the job for less.
So you think boards of directors choose to pay more for leadership teams than they need to...just 'cuz?
Wow. I'm guessing you have zero executive business experience. Am I right?
Yes it's a rigged game. I do have lots of experience actually.
Other countries do not pay their CEOs anywhere close to what we pay them
Countries don't pay CEOs. Companies do.
Wow are you dumb.
No shit Sherlock
The risk to society of wealth inequity that gets too large is rather simple to explain.
What you get when that happens is THIS ECONOMY
explain why the wealth gap has grown as the country has become more liberal.

Great nonanswer
How do you envision what a "free society" would look like? How does it operate? How is it funded?
And the people who can do it used to get paid 20x the average worker, now it's more like 300x. They could find completely competent people to do the job for less.
You get to dictate how much a person negotiated for their own compensation when they have a rare skill??
Nice little totalitarian statist you are
No I'm arguing they can afford to pay workers more.

Wow. You really are ignorant. Read the Constitution. The answers to your questions are right there in the document. Society operates just fine with a government limited to specific powers as the American experiment proved beyond a shadow of a doubt...despite constant attempts from central planners and collectivists to impose their will on all of us.
I'm for the right sized government and the right amount of taxes
the top 5% are paying 40% of the income taxes, the bottom 50% are paying nothing. Is that "fair" ?
The top 10% own more wealth than the bottom 90% combined, is that fair? They own, 90% of the wealth, seems to me, they should be paying 90% of the taxes.

A free society doesn't need to be "funded." A free society is where government leaves you alone. It costs the government nothing to leave you alone.

You are just so funny sometimes
OK..lets look at it this way
40% of our population controls 2 TENTHS of a percent of our nations wealth. That is the population you are complaining so much about
5% of our population controls 61.9% of our wealth. That is the population you believe is oppressed
Must be nice to own most of the wealth and get a bunch of poor repubs to believe you are also the victim
Inequality in treatment by government knows no economic limit..
Funny how you and your ilk will scream for equality in treatment when it benefits you or your cause.. but scream for the inequality in treatment for others when it also benefits you or your cause

You find the simple truth amusing?
So you think boards of directors choose to pay more for leadership teams than they need to...just 'cuz?
Wow. I'm guessing you have zero executive business experience. Am I right?
Yes it's a rigged game. I do have lots of experience actually.
Then by all means, explain to us in your own words why a board of directors would pay more for leadership than they need to, thereby hurting their own financial interests and creating a competitive disadvantage for the company they oversee.
The floor is yours...
Do you know what an "income tax" is?
If the top 5% are collecting that much of our nations available income, you bet your ass that is fair
I asked if you think its fair that 50% pay no income tax, and in fact many have a negative income tax due to EIC.
What specific things would you do to take income from the top earners and GIVE it to the lower 50%?
raising taxes will do nothing but drive successful people out of this country, you fricken libtards are determined to punish the job creators, because of your insane jealousy of their success.
Why are the rich leaving California and New York? Any idea, Norton? Puniative taxation, thats why.

It's not the nation's income, nitwit. Income belongs to those who receive it. it doesn't belong to the government or "the nation."
Only to anarchists who still do not accept the fact that they are members of a society

If you want to belong to a collective, move to north korea. The USA is a free democratic republic, what I earn is mine, not everyone's

lets look at it this way, 47% of the country i on some for of entitlement. do they really figure on being in the top earning bracket? I know wealth redistributing libs would like to see that but it doesn't work that way. You don't work, you don't make a lot. thats a fact.
