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
Really? Then why does the government take 15.2% of the first $115,000?
Think of how much better off we'd all be if you let people put that money into stock in Berkshire Hathaway, Disney or Hershey
