What kind of gullible Fiscally Illiterate believes in a Ponzi Scheme, even if it is called Social Security? Other than Libtards.

That's all well and good for you. You've got a nice 401k. For the rest of us that don't have one and are currently paying over 15% of our income to SS and MC, it would be nice to have a little money coming in so we're not working into our 80s after we've been paying into it for so long.

I do agree though that it's a ponzi scheme.


It's not going anywhere. I've been hearing that for 35 years now. It will be a political tool used on us until the day I die.

Do Right, Be Right. :)

You have NOT been "paying into" anything. That is part of the Ponzi Scheme sales pitch from FDR, who died before we were born. Wake up. That is nothing more than Confiscation by the Government, no matter how many times Clintons call it Contributions to make it more palatable for the lemmings and sheeple.

After a company decides they can afford to spend $30 per hour to have somebody to work for them, then each hour that YOU actually PERFORM WORK the Government CONFISCATES "Payroll Taxes" so that after company expenses and benefits (most are Government mandated) are subtracted, you end up with your "Wage" of about $15 per hour, which shows up on your paystub, so that the Government can Confiscate even more of your money, before you ever get your hands on it. This leaves you with about $8-11 of the $30 that your employer must spend each hour to allow you to work.

So you're whining about $2 while turning a blind eye to the $20 of Taxation that are Confiscated from your work? If you focused on getting the Tax Confiscation reduced, you not only would be less concerned about the tiny things, but SS/MC might even become viable.

Currently MC is scheduled to become insolvent in 2026, 8 years from now, with 100% (working population) Confiscation and only 15% participation (benefits).

If you choose to be tooled, that is your biz, like Wishi. Also your choice of lubed or prison-style.

If not, explain to me how you can make SS and/or MC viable, self-sustaining, and solvent - at least until you are 65.
