    Anyone 50 or below who ever thought social security would be there for them in any significant way in retirement has the brains of a turnip and should be drug out behind the barn and shot.

    Not with that attitude, we won't. I fail to see why a pension system that I have put tons of money into since I was 15 should not provide the pension I paid for.
    Social Security is not a pension.

    A defined benefits retirement isn't a pension?

    Is this one of those GOP fun-with-semantics games like "the US isn't a democracy"?

    I just read the entire plan. Looks good. Nothing to worry about

    Paying out to those who never paid in has killed the system as well as occasional raiding of the funds. If you didn't pay in you should get nothing out.

    Exactly. Good thing you have to pay in to get benefits.

    Social Security was designed to be Insurance.

    Premised on the idea that people would take care of themselves first. And if you don't, here's enough for a ham sammich.

    So I want the ham sandwich I paid for when I retire. Why should I willingly allow the gummit to withdraw a benefit that I've been paying for over the last 30 years?
