Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.

One of the many quaint beliefs the Left has about the US is that it's a relatively low-tax country

    Investing $500.00 a month for 40 years, starting in 1980, invested in a simple SP 500 index fund, would give you nearly $5 million in retirement funds. All of us who have worked our entire adult lives, have easily contributed that amount, along with our employer contributions, into the Social Security scam.

    You wouldn’t have done it.
    Neither did your lord and masters of the state

    Obtuse or just plain stupid
    What part of already spent confused you?

    That is fucking embarrassing.
    What are they talking about? I was told that the program wouldn't cost anyone anything.
    And Mexico didn’t pay for a wall. Is there someone who actually believes shit like you’re reciting?

    Your government has decided that you can't be trusted to invest for your retirement so we are going to steal that money from you and not invest it for your retirement.

    I'm old enough to have fallen for the Al Gore LOCKBOX for social security. I was actually impressed because for years I had been saying the same thing Bob pointed out. We are getting shit for a return because the SS money goes into the general fund.

    Good lord! Even in 2000 you were too old to believe any of that.

    What the fuck are you talking about? I was forced to put my money into Social Security. Why not give people the choice of putting that money into a simple index fund? And hell yes I would have done it. The benefits of the system I want would have been obvious to everyone. Only the true parasites who don't want to work would pick Social Security/Government Welfare.
    People who don’t work collect a lot of SS do they?
    Hmmm, might explain why I included welfare.

    Other than Biden voters? No.
