Thanks IbJensen.

So the fact that social security isn’t financially feasible has no bearing?

hmmm

[driftdiver]

We’ll you’re wrong so pay up.

I think social security should be eliminated for the vast majority of people. There should be a safety net for people who get hurt or suffer disease. It should be the exception not the rule.

For the vast majority of people who can’t manage to save two thin dimes by retirement it should be done away with. If you don’t bother to save then you can starve.

What do you think should happen to the people who’ve been contributing for 50 years with a gun to their heads? Rip ‘em off? That cool with you too? You do realize the people who saved will be the first ripped off?

Or do you know government better than I?

I collect at the end of the month, you just don’t realize it yet.

Snowblind doesn’t know what ‘FICA TAX’ is. You have to give it a break for ignorance.

Hey, somebody’s got to get ripped off, might as well be the dumb saps who already payed, right?

So What?? I didn't make the rules, I just live by them.The Government told me back in 1944 to start sending them so much of my salary. Period, they didn't ask me if I wanted to they just said do it.When it became time to retire, they said we will give you this much. I didn't have any say in the amount, the Gov just said this is how much you get. In all of these years I have not had any say in anything about Social Security, I think you need to go talk to your elected representative, and quit ragging on me.

The answer as to why Congress and bureaucrats can’t get things done right is that they are UNACCOUNTABLE! Lazy Americans do not hold them to campaign promises and to their duties and responsibilities under the Constitution. When we wake up and make them accountable or throw them out of office, they may get the message...but the people have to take responsibility too...sadly, I don’t see that happening!

[IbJensen]

It’s true that at least 70% of the merchandise, other than the grocery section, is of Chinese manufacture. Until the citizens of this faltering nation in which we live slaps their central socialist government into obeying THEM and drastically lowering the corporate tax rate, forces the end of overregulation and onerous paperwork, this will contiue.

Our government is NOT our friend, rather it is an enemy of its citizens and a destroyer of manufacturing.

It must be cleaned up and the government removed from concentration on globalization and concentrated on securing this sick nation.

The BIGGEST issue is that is wrong, evil, and outright thievery.

That it is unsustainable is a side issue.

If it were, as you say, financially feasible, then it would be ok? IF that were the only issue, or the MOST important issue, then it would be ok?

Unfeasible or not, sustainable or not, theft from one generation to another is wrong. And that is the bedrock basis for why SocSec and Medicare needs to go away.

[driftdiver]

Its no more evil then the other taxes taken at gun point.
