  • Stand up 4 your RIGHTS Americans.~The REPUBLICANS have been FOOLING YOU for the last 30 yrs. SOCIAL SECURITY*, (SS) , is NOT an entitlement! SS HAS A $2.6 TRILLION SURPLUS. SS CAN pay every claim at least until 2030.~ SS DOES NOT increase the federal budget by one cent! Tell the REPUBLICAN GANGSTERS & THEIR WALLSTREET BANDIT FRIENDS that you will FIGHT any PRIVATIZATION OF your SS pension.~You will FIGHT ANY REDUCTION IN BENEFITS. YOU will FIGHT any change in AGE REQUIREMENT FOR SS BENEFITS!

  • Social Security is not a ponzi scheme. You really do sound paraniod here. It is system that if used right everyone pays into but everyone gets to utlize at some point. Heaven forbid you should ever become disabled or elderly. Some people live paycheck to paycheck. It is not about being smart with money. If a person has $10 at the end of the month then they save up something goes wrong with their car. They need to fix it. Do you understand what I mean?

  • social security has been working since the 1950s and it is WORKING AS WE SPEAK. what the fuck...nothing works when these goddamn GOP come into power under the guise of doing Jesus' work.. These pigs starting with GWBush and his congress have ruined us, sanks us into a Great Recession...they all ought to have been hanged, if only we American idiots woke up to the reality. I can't believe the South and Midwest are such staunch supporters of the GOP...were you guys all fucken imbred?

  • @kaysandesses I dont invest in stocks. I invest in private savings accounts, IRAs, 401k, Gold, bonds, CDS. Hell I should even be able to spend my social security money if I choose. I should be able to put that money towards a house or other assets or invest it in starting a business. I should be able to choose to invest it in a healthcare savings account, or to pay down debt so that I can free up income from bills to invest.

  • @informationrevolt If you had invested your social security in the stock market, what would your private fund look like following the last stock market crash?

  • I wish I could invest social security how I want

  • the government is more greedy than wall street or anyone! Let everyone save their money and use it when they retire. Enough of this government ponzi scheme!

  • people should be smarter with their money. I dont want the government stealing money from me and giving it to them!

  • @YouAmYeknur How do people do that if they live paycheck to paycheck? There is no money at the end of the month to save.
