That's why they are doing it in a way where current old people continue to receive their benefits and the younger generations get screwed.
They are busy licking boots in that other thread about Washington DC. Am I right @Absolut?
What’s breaking news here? You think you will be getting social security in a few decades, and the current dem platform can win an upcoming general election? Boy do I have some news for you

Y'know what's crazy is that back in the '50s, obviously a different time. Still, it was the Republicans, specifically President Eisenhower who once voiced that any political party seeking to destroy Social Security would no longer exist simply because the people wouldn't support such a thing.
As Eisenhower said himself...
Oh, how times have changed. Nowadays, there are poor and broken-down rural idiots supporting politicians who seek to end these same benefits, safety nets, etc.

They have had higher rates of return for the citizens that lived in the county.
it was so successful that congress passed a law that stopped any other county in the US from pulling out of SS.
In short Eisenhower was an economic idiot.

They ain't gonna do shyt but donate and vote for the same party pushing to cut their social security. I have zero faith in the American electorate to vote with common sense

Unless there's some sort of universal basic income, there's gonna be an even bigger "black tax" on financially stable brehs and brehettes. More will have financially struggling parents, children and other relatives that they're gonna be compelled to help out financially.

All your examples don't really prove SS is a 'scam' or 'ponzi' tho... SS was never meant to be the only retirement fund americans used.
Sounds like your arguing for pensions to be required by the gov't for employers to provide to employees that they both pay into?
