That's too bad. I was hoping you had matured.

Yes, that was funny. Quite good in fact.

i wasn't fooled for a second. When libbies convert online they usualy just fade away and end up on a conservative chat room somewhere going back and forth.

Well I've become more conservative here in the past year or so, since I've started working on my degree in economics. I'm still a moderate Dem. though, so don't get any wild ideas.

Well, I must confess, my views have become a bit more moderate since I first came to this forum. But I'm still far from conservative.

So we've noticed. Notice how people become more conservative as they mature and gain experience. Interesting....

Exactly. Usually when former liberals become conservative, it's out of self-interest. If you have enough money to retire comfortably, you don't need social security, so you decide that social security is a bad thing because it comes out of your paycheck.

No, i was going the route of when you're poor (relativly speaking) people find humor and delight in making those that make more money give until they're equal with them. When these people, through hard work, start to make money they see how rediculous their prior beliefs were.
Social Security is a joke and should be given back to those that want it to invest in their future. I've saved more on my own than i will ever get from Social Security.

I'm not sure of the exact percentage of what SS makes, but i believe it's below the cost of inflation or close to it in returns (approx 2-3%). A low-end bond can make 4-5% with about the same risk.

Social security is a fucking joke. Why do people think that once they have reached a certain age that others should take care of them?

To be fair, everyone puts into Social Security so it's not so much other people are paying for the undeserving, rather the Social security fund doesn't increase like it should through investing.
