IF YOU'RE A WORKING MAN, then you work your whole life and give about 7% of all your wages - off the top - to the GOVERNMENT.
When you retire, you get a pittance you can't live on.
And when you croak, maybe your widow gets a little, and then when she croaks, the GOVERNMENT gets to keep the rest; in fact, the solvency of the whole freakin' thing is based on you croaking before you can collect all YOUR HARD-EARNED MONEY + INTEREST. It's a Ponzi Scheme whose solvency is predicated on YOUR dying BEFORE collecting what's YOURS.
Rich folks don't give a crap, 'cause they have retirement plans on the side.
But the working man: he gets screwed bigtime.
If the working man could put this 7% into a private fund of T-bills (or something else conservatove and risk-proof), then he'd have a pile of dough when he retired - one he could leave IN ITS ENTIRETY to his widow or grandkids or anyone he damn pleases.
But not the USG.
And this is why the liberal politicians are opposed to privatization.
Social Security is really GOVERNMENT SECURITY or LIBERAL POLITICIAN SECURITY.
It prolongs dependence and poverty.
If we privatized Social Security, then we could END POVERTY in 30 years.
But that would end government dependence and that's something the liberals won't ever accept.
Which is why I have long said, that to make poverty history we have to make the Left history.
AND ANOTHER THING: The liberals' desire to take over the healthcare industry is just as pernicious.
If healthcare was entirely private fee for service, then each death would be a loss of revenue.
In a government system each death is a COST SAVING.
And a double cost saving since they don't have to make any more pension payments when you're dead.
That's a huge whopping double incentive to let the WHOLE FREAKIN' BOOMER GENERATION DIE.
No wonder the Left is fighting to make Obamacare happen. They know it's the only way to prevent the looming train wreck; THE HUGE FREAKIN' INSOLVENCY/UNFUNDED LIABILITY OF MEDICARE AND SOCIAL SECURITY.
BOTTOM-LINE: We are all better off if the government keeps its grimy paws out of our personal affairs - and that includes retirement and healthcare.
Especially the working man and working woman.
Socialism is the opiate of the masses.
Don't continue to let anyone be duped.
Let's defeat Obamacare.
And then let's privatize Social Security.
For the working men and women of the USA!
