They can have my SS checks. Not like they were going to give them back anyways. I'd rather have something that holds its value.

Remember that when you're 70 and eating cat food to pay for your prescriptions after you exhaust your 401k. Guess the guns will come in handy then....the disaffected can suck on the barrel for one last meal of lead.

Guess that's the Republican plan for old age.

Well, in 45 years when I am 70, I'm willing to bet the age to collect on benefits will be raised to the late 70's (if it exists at all). But it's not like it'll matter, since I have a much better retirement options anyways. Ones that, ya know, actually make money, not lose it.

Really! A financial genius, never lost money? You need to write a book!

All I want is to be able to opt-out of SS. I think that's perfectly fair. I don't want to pay into it, and I don't expect anything for it later.

All I want is to not pay taxes on a military that outspends the next ten strongest global military powers combined.... All I want is to not pay taxes subsidizing big oil, billionaires who hide their assets in tax haven countries and Wall Street. All I want us for my tax dollars to stop paying for breaks for multinationals to ship real American Jobs overseas.

When I get what I want, you'll get yours

So you want to have control over what people do with their own money?

While I'm all against corporate welfare, it's not those companies fault that American workers aren't skilled enough to do the jobs these days.

I think you and I both want a lot of the same stuff, but you're far too obsessed with partisan labels to see that. Any more strawmen?
 
Yeah....one more. You know damn well that this country would not let you starve in the street if your "can't miss" investments were to go South. So knowing this....the way it seems to me is that you want the benefit of a social safety net without having to pay into it.

Besides....those people that use tax havens can do whatever the hell they want with it....AFTER taxes.....just like the rest of us.
Edit: your assumption that American workers can't do the job is utter horseshit and you know it. They just can't do it for $.50/hour.

SS will be there at age 70 for you. While I agree it is not the best solution, it will still be there to provide the bene's. I think the age might make it to 70, but I doubt it goes further than that unless there is a substantial change in average life expectancy due to a medical tech breakthrough of some sort.

Rather reminds me of Robert Heinlein, "There is no greater tyranny than to force a man to pay for what he does not believe in simply because you think it is for is own good."
-The Moon is a Harsh Mistress

Good book.

C'mon Billy. You're smarter than that. The social security trust fund has made money since Day 1. The problem is Congress "borrowing" the interest income from the bonds to pay bills.

After seeing so many cities and states lose billions six/seven years ago by trusting others with their pension funds, you'd be better off stuffing a mattress instead of trusting Ryan.
