| Here's my thoughts, for whatever they're worth, on SOcial Security retirement. Scrap the retirement benefits totally, it's not the governments responsibilty to take of you or provide you an income when you retire...
If you weren't responsible enough to save for your retirement then go without.. become a greeter at Wal-Mart.. I do believe we should pay in to provide for those that becoe disabled, but that amount would be a SMALL percentage of what we pay in now.. and if you invested the money yourself SMARTLY, your retirement would increase 10 fold over what SSI is going to give you..
Don't decrease my retirement benefit, get rid of it totally.. I'm not a welfare recipient now, and don't plan on being one when I retire either!! |
