Sorry but.... fuck that guy. Some of his ideas lean a little too socialist for me, that and his arrogance. 80% of you shouldn't collect social security.., after paying into it our whole lives ? Yeah how about fuck you baldy wtf does he know about being self employed ? He's a teacher that'll get his full paycheck or close to it for how many years after he retires ?  And I'm supposed to not collect my whopping SS that won't even pay for groceries ?  Minimum wage should be $25.00 ? Talk about out of touch with the average small business. Sorry that guys a clown

Social Security should have never existed and I should never have to pay one penny into that scam, it’s blatant theft of current and future wealth designed to keep everyone poorer.  If people were too stupid to not save for retirement it’s not my job to bail them out, sorry not sorry.

100% agree.  I would have been better off putting everything I've contributed over the years in my mattress, and now when I start collecting at age 66 years and 10 months (1 year and 9 months from now) I get to pay 12.4% of it in taxes. (Current Ca. rate) What a crock a shit.      

Edit: I checked again for curiosity, if you google the current rate it says 6.2%, but when I was on "My" account the tax rate was 12.4%. Guess I'll find out when that time comes.

I 100% agree he has some Huge flaws that are very similar to socialism. What he does well is point out the failures currently and the reasoning. Many people don’t understand how we are where we are, or even believe that everything is sunshine and rainbows. 
 

What he did do though, was bring up points to which we need to discuss and figure out in a hurry.

Social security is tapped into consistently to add to our defense funds. They literally steal the money from everyone. Government needs to look at Venezuela and El Salvador. Clean house

Imagine if you had the freedom to invest that money, you’d probably be at least $1m richer for retirement.  Everyone who downvoted my first post can fuck right off, this Ponzi scheme of government entitlement is going to cost me well over $1m in potential wealth by retirement age and you shills that believe in it are the reason it perpetuates.  It’s time to tear off the bandaid and abolish it now.

Social Security…within it lies the answer of why the minions go along with it.

All the while…

They use it as a “Slush Fund” and they have the audacity to say,”We can’t go back to making it a Stand Alone Trust! It’s been too long!” …and their idiot followers go along with it…so, someone tell me…

WHY..can’t S/S be RETURNED TO…a STAND ALONE FUND/SYSTEM? (It was robbed in FY1968 and rolled into the general funding of America’s war in Viet Nam…by LBJ…A DEMOCRAT…BY THE WAY!)

This is one of those things…one of those issues that makes me soooooo disappointed in the narrative following minions…

They accept ANYTHING that The Beltway Bandits tell them as long as they also tell them…”it’s for your safety!”...or…”it’s for the children!”…or…”we’ll pay for it for you!”…or…”it’ll threaten Democracy!”…or…”it’s because we care about you!”…or…”we’re from the Government. We know what’s best for you!”…etc., etc., etc. …

We get the government we deserve; because, we let them do this.

It all boils down to two things for those who do that. They are ignorant and blissfully believe what is spoon fed to them, or they HATE Trump and vote out of spite instead of what is best for our nation aka our children. Both sides steal from citizens, both sides inside trade, both sides write laws to protect themselves from being held accountable, both sides play the blame game and point to the other side. 
 

We are absolutely screwed or our children will be because of our own damn government but people still believe they do it for the good or betterment, yet can not for the life of them see how they are slowly taking away our freedoms, our safety, our prosperity, our religions, and our speech. That is NOT a democracy. Where exactly are the people being heard? Where are the changes for our people? Just bull shit vote pandering tactics and people continue to fall for it.
