The popular vote isn't a thing

[redtide]

The US borrowed my money. Now it is time to pay me back. Imagine telling a bank that having borrowed their money you don't feel like paying them back. See how that works.

So two wrongs equal a right as long as you can take it from someone else, SICK

 

[middleview]

You are under the misguided impression the money you paid in was some sort of retirement account for you. It isn't. It was used to pay others.

Like any ponzi scheme, it will eventually implode.

We have run a surplus in money collected from SS for it's entire history. The rest of that money was used for the general fund....So it kept the federal government from raising taxes. Stupid scheme? Maybe. Am I willing to take the hit? Nope. But you should feel free to get Trump to run on a plan to have SS declare bankruptcy and wipe out all SS accounts. My dad, at 93, may not be much in favor of voting for your chosen candidate.

Get Trump to adopt that plan....I dare ya.

 

[Nostra]

I am right. Look at #3. Thank you.

So?

Words often mean several things. Illegal aliens are aliens.

You were wrong, again.

Keep digging.

None of that changes the fact it was set up as a ponzi scheme.

I am right. Aliens are creatures from outer space. Have a nice day.
P.S. Sorry if I made you look foolish. Next time I'll let you win OK?

LOL, a surplus is that what your leaders are telling you? Perhaps that is why they have raised age and are concerned about the ponzi scheme not being sustainable?

really, so the SS admin is not worrying at all about the ponzi scheme running out of money? thats odd because all normal sources beg to differ.

 

[kaz]

did you know that aliens are beings from outer space and humans shouldn't be called aliens?

They don't have dictionaries in your half way house?

 

[kaz]

Dictionaries don't change much.

I don't know what you're trying to do with it, but try reading it next time

You aren’t smart. Any money he paid was his earned money. He is at least entitled to his money back. He didn’t have a choice to pay it, the government owes him his money.

His money was spent as it came in like any other tax. Nothing was ever saved. Was the money you paid in taxes that went to the military saved in some sort of trust fund? Of course not. It was spent.

Not one dime of your Social Security check will be from money you paid because zero was saved.

Welfare = money confiscated from today's taxpayers and given to someone who didn't earn it

Social Security = money confiscated from today's taxpayers and given to someone who didn't earn it

Social Security = welfare.

The only difference is that when you rob your kids for your welfare check, you'll give them a tip. Psst, do the same to your kids ...

I'll pass, I don't want to rob my children just because my parent's generation did it to me. End the con now

OMG, you just admitted you're a Republican. You said you're "right"

In that case, I meant I'm correct.
