Taxes are a ponzi schemes also. You pay for other that what you are being told you are. FAA collects take off and landing for airsystem repairs and fees which go to the general fund so the deficit has to be raised to fix airports. Gas tax goes is said to go to fix roads but ends up in the general funds and we have to raise the deficit to build roads. Our votes are a ponzi scams also as we give our votes for one promise only to be repaid with something opposite.

OK. Its a Ponzi scheme. So what are we going to do to fix it? This past week, Republican Presidential candidate, Cong. Thaddeus McCotter (you know, the one they won’t let debate) introduced the SAVE SOCIAL SECURITY ACT (bill HR 2889) which has been described as the largest reduction of government spending and debt in world history. It does NOT increase the payroll tax, increase the retirement age, reduce benefits or privatize the sytstem, all of which are opposed by the majority of the American public.

The fact that a Presidentail candidate has submitted legislation that reforms, improves and saves Social Security, and that the media would still rather discuss whether it is a Ponzi scheme boggles the mind. Where is the Mainstream Media Coverage? Never mind that, where is the Talk Radio coverage? Rush, Hannity, Levin, Ingraham???????NOTHING!!!

One question. If the roles were reversed and you had a Democrat Congressman who was challenging for his party’s nomination to take on an incumbent President, and he introduced THIS SAME BILL, how many of the Sunday shows would he be on tomorrow?
