GOP trying to screw mellenials retirement * 1
    #23951081 - 12/23/16 08:34 AM (7 years, 1 month ago)

This bill is specifically trying to take melenials social security.  Better start saving and saving big!  You are going to get as little as 10% as you would if you retired today.  It's targeting mellenials the most.  With gradual cuts regarding specific dates that benefits are received.

Republicans hate young people.

This would also raise the full retirement age from 67 to 69.  Are there any conservatives here that support these big cuts to Social Security?

Please don't bullshit us about how Social Security is going broke.  It we simply remove the cap that allows rich people not to pay in, there would be a massive surplus.

True that, if rich people would pay in.  That is why rich people start think tanks to push agenda's that hurt average people.

Most republicans are not rich but are old and secure.  Then there are wealthy ones that don't need social security.  They hate the program because they think it's a waste, and for them it saves nothing.

That too.  :thumbup:

Unfortunately, that already happened, so now we need to figure out how to get the money back.

Easy peasy - make the rich pay in the same percentage as the poor.  :shrug:

It's not privatized social security yet mister smarty pants.  Also most people that put money in stocks lose hugely.  Like ALL of your money.

What are stocks gonna do when the US loses a war to a Russian and Chinese threat?  Your gonna be spit shinning Putins dick!

Max Baucus (D) is the main author of the affordable care act, sponsored by Obama. Mandated required health insurance or being fined for not having it....that sounds like the rich telling the rest how life should be, and.....they're both Democrats!  who knew that Republicans weren't the only ones telling others how to live?!



Soda-taxes?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sugary_drinks_tax#American_localities_with_a_soda_tax


largely democrat authored, largely democrat municipalities


the democrats like to push people around just as much as republicans do; they're barely, slightly more subtle about it and like to impose fines/fees in the process.  they also tend to guise their doings as "public health" issues, compared to religious/moral issues

the better option is to send them ALL upriver (or maybe heads-on-stakes), including lobbyists, CxO's of major, socially-/environmentally-destructive corporations, and start anew, with the visible warning of what happens when they fuck around and forget who they're supposedly representing and looking out for

They are trying to keep it solvent.  Both sides are guilty of looting the SS Trust Fund to buy votes.  Period. 

But let's try an experiment.  Let's make SS mandatory, but give people a choice between a private investment firm and the government SS.  Who would people choose?  More than likely, they would choose a private investment firm, because PEOPLE NO LONGER TRUST OUR GOVERNMENT.

That's a false choice.

The fact of the matter is that what working people pay into Social Security today is used to pay retired people today.  There is no "saving" or "investment".

In order to privatize Social Security, we would need to cut all payments to retirees today so that working people could invest that money instead.  Or we could do a 50/50 split, so that retirees get only 1/2 of what they get today, and working people can only invest 1/2 of what they pay in.
:whateveryousayfreak:

The fact that Republicans are even talking about this proves they are still the party of stupid.

Absolutely.

Bernie wants to remove the cap entirely (the best solution).

Quote:

Right now a billionaire pays the same amount of money into Social Security as someone who makes $118,500 a year. That’s because there is a cap on taxable income that goes into the Social Security system.




Even Hillary insists the rich need to pay more:

Quote:

Preserve Social Security for decades to come by asking the wealthiest to contribute more. Social Security must continue to guarantee dignity in retirement for future generations. Hillary understands that there is no way to accomplish that goal without asking the highest-income Americans to pay more, including options to tax some of their income above the current Social Security cap and taxing some of their income not currently taken into account by the Social Security system.




It appears conservatives voted republican without knowing what they would get.  Now that Trump is in office they know exactly what they will get.  Lots of tax breaks for the super rich, paid for by everyone else.


If you think income inequality is bad now, you ain't seen nothin' yet.

But why would anyone believe a bought and paid for Hillary who represented the very rich people she bashed? 

Remember Obama bashing the very NY bankers that paid for his 2008 campaign?

And yes I agree, wealth/income inequality is going to grow even larger.

I don't know if Hillary would have gotten the rich to pay more, but at least we know the rich wouldn't pay less, which will likely now happen under Trump.

    #23964659 - 12/29/16 04:29 AM (7 years, 1 month ago)

From my understanding the age for regular full social security had long been raised from 65 to 66.5 for me and I'm 59.5. As generations aged it was gradually going to go up progressively beyond 66.5. I think for people 5 years younger than me it was at least 67. and projected to gradually go up.  This happened through, I believe, several Presidential administrations and poitical parties.

      I don't know how this effects taking early social security at 62 for less, or late social security at 70 for more.

    At any rate it's about actuarial tables, and people living longer, but I also think its trying to salvage a dying system.

    As far millennials getting screwed, grow up; everybody got screwed.

fuck that attitude.  it's one thing to get [relatively] unknowingly screwed, but to continue paying into a failing, soon-to-be-dead system with, essentially, no hope of ever reclaiming WHAT IS RIGHTFULLY ONE'S is insane.  it's not immature to consider demanding what one feels is right.  it is immature to not get one's way and then continue to bitch and moan about it.

They are trying to keep it solvent.  Both sides are guilty of looting the SS Trust Fund to buy votes.  Period. 

But let's try an experiment.  Let's make SS mandatory, but give people a choice between a private investment firm and the government SS.  Who would people choose?  More than likely, they would choose a private investment firm, because PEOPLE NO LONGER TRUST OUR GOVERNMENT.




And people DO trust the big banks.
