Social Security

No, THE STOCK MARKET KNOWS BEST



Is someone KEEPING you from investing in an IRA?

You HAVE freedom.

Is the SS payroll tax you pay keeping you from that new Lexus?

Hey some people like to have there cake and eat it too. Not work to get that "cake" then get a crumbs worth of what they put in when they turn 65.

I don't think it's an issue anymore. You have to have a job before you worry about contributing into social security. Thus.. people are worried about keeping their jobs or finding work.
Let's all WORK UNTIL WE DIE!

Breasts,

People USED to be able to count on a PENSION, too...

But the RIGHT has pretty much taken care of THAT too.

The Middle Class is dying in this country, and it has always been the lifeblood of this country.

I really wish you'd do your own thinking sometimes...

When SS was implemented, there were like 40 people paying in, for every person receiving funds

Now, due to baby boomers retiring, and the life span improving, it's more like 3 to 1

Get it?






Republican GREED, stupid.

Turn SS over to the stock market, and it becomes a GAMBLE with corporations taking massive profits regardless of the market going up or down.

It's the VIG paid to the bookie.




Jesus, kid.

Why is it greedy to want to keep what is yours?

In other words, forget about trying to get well off in America. Why bother? Work your ass off, start a business then the government takes most of it and gives it to those who don't have the gumption you have.

Ugh, man I dispise socialism.

Socialism? You mean like bailing out Shttibank so they can continue to fund Saudi Arabia with usury rate interest stolen from their customers?

???

Again, you have no clue what you're talking about.

Most people take OUT more than they ever put into SS.

Unless they die first.

You want to put it into the hands of the people wqho brought us ENRON?????

There are people who put $300K into their retirement funds for that company, only to end up with $200.00

But you're worried about SS???

please

My goodness, what a shitty country America is.

Who are these fuckers that want us to pay for things like basic infrastructure, social services and security? We should just borrow to fund the 50% of the world's defense spending annually we fund and let our pissant grandkids pay it off!

Most?

Really?

Got any proof, or is this more of your famous EXAGGERATIONS you like to post in here.



You think SS goes to the lazy?

Are your grandparents lazy?

Hypocrite.

Since when is every big company Enron?

If everyone got to choose what to do with the money they earned wouldn't it be nice? Why are you so gung-ho about the government having your money at their disposal?

[Nickdfresh]

Well if it was so great why is it running dry? Why are multitudes of people wanting to privatize?
...

Um, the UK "privatized" their equivalent of SS, and most people think of it's worked about as well as being ass-fucked to death...

[Figs]

Take out more than they put in...guess you never heard of the the time value of money.

[LoungeMachine]

Ugh, man I dispise socialism.

Yet you drive on raods WE paid for....

Use the military WE paid for.....

Use the fire and police WE pay for.....


And then you vote for an adminsitration that gave away A TRILLION DOLLARS PLUS TO CORPORATE WELFARE.

But grandma can eat cat food.

fucking pathetic.

I'm tired of getting my paychecks and seeing money I made go to a program I'll never see the benefit of.

Do you even need that Lexus? Don't run off to buy a new car after you finish paying off your car loan.

You can't rely on Social Security anymore. It's not even going to be a drop in the bucket when it comes to my time. I got my personal Roth IRA, I got my IRA with work, my pension with work, and the added money I pay into my pension. I may not be flying around the world, driving a BMW/Lexus/Audi, or planning a wedding overseas like the other NYC teachers, but I'm more prepared than a lot of them close to retirement age.

A little sacrifice goes a long way when you're young. Unfortunately, a lot of Americans don't educate themselves about money and banking, and even more don't look into retirement options until they're getting close to 40. Never too early to start.

OK you got me, $100 out of your check in 1990 is worth as much as $100 you'll get back in 2020.

...

And for fuck's sake, don't even think about buying another car if you have an existing loan!
