They talk like social security matters to me. As far as I'm concerned it's the money I am robbed of every payday. NOTHING MORE! Let me opt out, because I'm sick of paying for other people's way.
For those who are under the false impression of what SS is it is not a retirement fund, the average check is 1000 bucks a month 12k a year.

I'm tired of paying for the retirement of baby boomers. My generation will never see that money. Half of you that are collecting it don't even need it. We won't retire until we're 70, according to the experts. Stop taking it. If it's being taken with no reliable plan to give it back, to finance our retirement, then stop taking it. It's unfair taxation. We may be able to get by with privatized retirement plans, but that doesn't make it right.
Stop beating a dead horse, and admit you messed up what was a nice idea.

No wonder society's in the #ter when the younger folks don't want to pay to keep their grandparents off of the streets.

Find one of those people giving their check to charity, and tell them you need that charity badly.
See if they'll give it to you, or if they want their deduction from the deal.edit on 7-10-2012 by AnarchysAngel because: (no reason given)

I'm not benefitting from my public education much either! My private education got me a job that started at 23,000 a year though. A hefty loan over my head too. God bless America! Land of the debt and home of the bi-partisan anger.
