lol. Social ... ( 2 months ago by crackillsobegood)
lol. Social security SHOULD be privatized. The federal government does not have the right to reach into individuals pockets and put their hard earned money into a "pot" that they did not choose to be apart of. Read the constitution people!!!!

the best??? LOL you are really dumb I hope you don't vote with that kinda logic.
It shouldn't exist ... ( 2 months ago by crackillsobegood)
It shouldn't exist in the first place. Hence no reason to fund it. It's unconstitutional to vote away someone's personal property! As well as there hard earned money. 12.4 % of everyone's income now goes to a pot that is unstable, inefficient and gets taxed by the government it's absurd. A joke.

So do you believe ... ( 2 months ago by MarimbaVirtuoso)
So do you believe in eliminating taxes completely?
Oh certainly not. ... ( 2 months ago by crackillsobegood)
Oh certainly not. The sole purpose of the income tax is to provide government the means to complete tasks that private industry simply cannot partake in. Such as roads, infrastructure in general, and the military. Infrastructure is primarily under the jurisdiction of local or state governments. So there is positively no reason why people should be paying a 30% federal income tax in the United States.
Over 80% of your ... ( 2 months ago by crackillsobegood)
Over 80% of your tax dollars are going to payments to individuals. Because the Liberals in office seem to think they know how to micromanage society, and they know what to do with your money better then you do! They've managed to throw out the constitution, not that any of them have read it in the first place.
I recommend reading Miton Friedman's book: "Free to Choose." Or at the very least watch some of his videos here on youtube.

I went to the dermatologist the other day, thirty minute visit. There was no special procedure or equipment, he just looked at me and prescribed an antibacterial cream.
The bill? $701
This was an HMO doctor, that's whats wrong with privatization.
There should not be ... ( 2 months ago by nagzul)
There should not be a charge for a visit period. If I could change it, I'd say that any service that "takes a look at something" should be free of charge or maybe a 20$ fee.
from car places to dentist offices.
They are just taking advantage of your insurence; and they try to weeed you into getting a checkup for nothing.
The money should only come if you get work done.
I think each ... ( 1 month ago by mcnathan80)
I think each individual should have the choice to contribute to SS or not. In my opinion I will not contribute to a fund that will go down in value as it ages as social security only pays out a fraction of what is put into it. You woudl literally be better putting your money in a sock under your bed and saving THAT for retirment. This is NOT a partisan issue this is a financial issue, America MUST educate itself. Check out the Fair Tax Act, it's what I support.

Well would you ... ( 1 month ago by robinsbk)
Well would you rather social security money be just a promise or would you rather it actually be in an account with your name on it. Would you rather it be invested in nothing or be invested in things that might actually increase your payout? Social security is not a welfare program, but rather a forced savings program so people don't end up broke when they are at retirement age.
When the government is 10 trillion in debt, I'd rather have something more than an IOU.
Was anyone shocked ... ( 3 days ago by brandonsutton)
Was anyone shocked by his comment about fixing Social Security being easy in last night's debate? My jaw was on the floor! Easy - are you kidding? All we need to do is get Democrats and Republicans to sit down together in a room and presto - it's fixed? That was the lamest answer I have seen him give yet to any question, and I'd love to see the media call him out on it. And by the way, how on earth does he plan to fix it while reducing taxes across the board? Clearly, this is bogus.
