The total SS contribution is 6.2% by employee and 6.2% by employer based on gross pay! That means a total 12.4% contribution each pay period. What in the world were you talking about??
More people join the marketforce than people retire. This is a fact which alone proves your ponzi scheme theory wrong. People work 30-40 years and contribute up to the maximum of $113,700 which is the threshold for maximum contribution. How many years does one have to live to recollect that $113,700 they put in???
The money from the trust fund has been stolen by illegal diversions. Just like they steal everything else.

He targeted originally people who made over $250,000, but in practice the middle class is hurting the most. Obama is letting the bankers off the hook while hooking the rest with icky earth worms.

I wonder if you forgot about what happened in 2008? When half the stock market disappeared, America began the trend of losing 750,000 jobs a month, and all the rest.
Those occurrences were all the consequence of Bush's policy (of not regulating or paying attention)
Google the stock market, the housing market, the job market, the auto market and ALL of them have improved
Since Obama took office. Fact

So, to translate this, what he's really saying is, "Disregard all the times I have lied to you, and ignored the law, and taken away your rights, and ruined the economy, and snubbed our allies, and funded our enemies. Really, I am doing everything right. Don't you trust me?"
The sick thing is, a lot of people will believe him.
Only the koolaid drinking neo-liberals do.

That's interesting, because he supported them. I wonder if they are completely honest about this. I know I saw video that showed some who did, in fact, support him, and stated so.

Not only is SS a State sponsored Ponzi scheme, it is Nanny Statism. That is the Nanny State has to force us to give up 12 per cent of our paycheck because we cannot plan our own retirement....that is Nanny State thinking.

So what? Republicans pretend to support the tea party as well but in reality they don't.
Infiltrate and destroy the movement. Its been like that for years now.
Obama is center right by supporting offshoring, automation, middle class tax redistribution and letting the rich get richer, more wars, more lies, continued spying.
There is no left in america because people mistakengly think "small government" will cure all their problems. I say size of government is secondary, what counts more is WHOM does government support and its obvious they support special interest groups.
