No one talked about canceling it ~ they proposed allowing folks to direct 1/3 of their payment to something other than US bonds.

Whether it's constitutional or not, it's there ~ the money was seized at the point of a gun from people who would want it back.

You can't just cancel out the debt ~ that is theft.

“Whether it’s constitutional or not, it’s there ~ the money was seized at the point of a gun from people who would want it back.”

And it’s still seizing money at the point of the gun from people who want it back. It hasn’t stopped doing this.

“You can’t just cancel out the debt ~ that is theft.”

And stealing it from your children isn’t? Do you think your child doesn’t notice you running through his piggy bank? What do you think your child is going to think when he sees this?

Everyone has their own responsibility to look after their own retirement. It was wrong that the money was stolen from you, I agree. But it’s not less wrong to steal that money from other people. This is why social security has to end.

As far as I’m concerned, either you guys end it, or we will. If it means that my generation is the one that pays in and gets nothing out of it, then fine. At least our kids are going to have a future.
