Eric,
Maybe you like government taking responsibility for your retirement
without your input. I don't.
A better alternative for SS is to grandfather the system and close it
down. It would be terrifically generous to the people who
contributed all their lives and give them their benefits if past a
certain age and allow people under a certain age to migrate their
money out in various ways. I'm of an age where the SS money I was
forced to pay will not be there when my retirement arrives. I'm
fully capable of planning for my own retirement and do a lot better
than the buffoons who are spending my interest-free loan
profligately. Even monkeys doing long division at a chalkboard could
have figured out a way to get a little simple interest out of this
system. As I said, I just wish the idea to terminate the plant was
at least on the table.
Are you in the habit of using the logical fallacies of red herring
and straw man when arguing? Corpses in the streets, eh? Is it Mardi
Gras time again already?
~Brian~
