like mwood said, grandma will get rid of everything and live with you and you can help her like it should be. OK, ANY QUESTIONS. Social security is entitlements. UNDERSTAND, IT's OUR G MONEY, NOT YOURS, and G will spend it like on whatever it feels like, GET IT. I think we need more bases in other countries. The G should also raise more taxes, to get america out of their debt problems. America, you created the debt problem, NOW it is time to fix it. RAISE TAXES, CUTS, CUTS,CUTS, AND more spending to help protect the bases.

Just to clear things up a bit.. it would NOT be a civil war... it would be a revolution.




The most important difference between a revolution and a civil war is that civilians directly revolt against the government in a revolution whereas factions wage a war against each other in a civil war.


And yes... the S would definitely hit the fan.

Unfortunately... I would think the majority of Americans would say "gee thats too bad. What time is American Idol on tonight?".

so raise taxes so the government can steal more of what you earn that is if you earn anything at all.

no thanks.

if the money that people paid into the system was still there no problems but its not people are getting money out of that system that they have never paid into.

since social securitys inception the government has stolen every cent from it because it is spending too much and no amount of raising taxes will ever fix that.


it is totally ridiculous when people say raise taxes.

You all got us into this mess and you all will fix it wether you like it or not. The G for government will fix all this mess you all created. RAISE, RAISE, RAISE taxes, CUT THIS, CUT THAT, CUT MORE and spend more on FIXING THE PROBLEMS. NOW, go outside and take a deep breath of air like i will in a moment and put a huge smile on your face always when you go outside because it represents how much you love your good country.

and you and all others are still going to pay. DON'T forget to pay you taxes next year. This and all other funds will help our gov't help you. I'm curious, do yo think that sending or paying billions and billions of money over seas to other countries to put bases on, is a bad idea?

yeah i do considering you will still be spending the same amount on more entitelements.

instead of 50 million americans living off social security you will have double

instead of another 50 million americans on welfare you will have double it

all paid by those who do work but wait for it raising taxes will bankrupt more people instead of funding those entitlements you will be putting more on them.

thats where you end up the money comes from somewhere its quite a shame people never realize where it does come from.

a small percentage of people in this country pay for everyone else and when there are no more of them then where are you going to get the cash from?

people need to end the selfishness and greed and that means people thinking they are entitled to other peoples money.

because that path you push is the path were no one has any and everyone is living in abject poverty.

HEY, you voted for it, it got passed for social security. What are you complainning about. The gov't does it's best to help out. OBAMA trying to pass this medical thing and all he gets is flack. The gov't trying to help you there too. Gov't medical. So it is a little more out of your check, so what. They need to take more to get us out of this mess you people got us into.

I can't believe you guys keep falling for Cloak4U and his baiting and trolling. He even made his avatar a troll...to make it easier for you to see him. All of his posts are the same on every thread. Also, not only is he a child spending his bored summer entertaining himself with the ATS mice, but he doesn't even live in the United States, so don't let him fool you.

Stop feeding the attention begger.

I say let 'em die.

The same people who voted to steal our money so that they wouldn't have to deal with poverty have put everyone else in poverty. They are selfish, inconsiderate bastards. Let 'em die.

Those who've been economically bled to death for the last 70 years have nothing left to give you people. You made your bed. Lie in it. The world will be a lot better off without you arrogant, selfish, ignorant people in it.

Baby boomers. Go take a giant collective dirtnap. Quit starting wars. Stop taking the fruits of our labors. Grow some balls and take on the fate you sentenced the rest of us to.

Leave this world so you stop infecting it with your incessant BS.

It would be best if social security did stop coming, that would be the end of a socialist program. It would be better if the investment was in gold or silver, but in simply dollars then this is a humiliating program because we all know the dollar loses value, so what you put in is not equal to what you get back.
