It would only be a temporary victory. Socialism has failed everywhere it's been tried and we will be no exception. I think what would happen is we'd look a lot more like europe.. with the two political parties wrangling over the tiniest cut to new programs like it's life or death.. There'd be booms and busts economically.. But America would be fucked regardless. We'd never regain our former glory. And I'm really starting to think that's fine.. Ya know, nobody wants to take their medicine and fix things.. Instead, they offer up insultingly stupid rationales and pepper you with begging questions. The result of that is failure.. and it's well deserved. A nation this stupid and backwards doesn't deserve to lead the world.. BUT HEY, BOOMERS.. Before that happens, at least you'll get your benefits.. Which is all that REALLY MATTERS ANYWAY.. Right? |

that's the key to it. America has been captured by socialist nonsense.. Look at the "Conservatives" here who support these things? So, there's just nowhere left to go but down.. Screaming for government bennies the entire way.. Like Greece, except it takes a lot longer to turn a nation as big as this one and run it into the ground.. We have institutional advantages we're slowly bleeding away. But, once gone, the change will be permanent.. |

Uh oh.. Looks like importing Jose the laborer is a net loser after all!
For people with lower than average earnings, the ratio of the lifetime benefits they receive from Social Security to the lifetime payroll taxes they pay for the program is higher than it is for people with higher average earnings. In that sense, the Social Security system is progressive. For people in the bottom fifth of the earnings distribution, the ratio of benefits to taxes is almost three times as high as it is for those in the top fifth. http://www.cbo.gov/ftpdocs/77xx/doc7...ssivity-SS.pdf But let's do it anyway.. Ya know? |

Some people will claim that it would have been fine if it was left alone.. But Government shouldn't be "investing" our money anyway..
And what happened is why.. There's a gigantic pool of money there, and.. They grabbed it. They couldn't help themselves. It was inevitable for government to do this.. It's all they know how to do. It's why these schemes are doomed to failure. |

He thought he could show you up with some of his big gubmit propaganda. It has no bearing on the matter.. This has bearing on the matter: “Think of the world our parents’ generation inherited. They inherited a country of boundless economic prosperity and the highest admiration overseas, produced by the hands of their mothers and fathers. They were safe. For most, they were endowed opportunities to succeed, to prosper, and build on their parents’ work. " |

Is there a point to this? I know how much you dislike being disagreed with, or shown that some of your premises may be faulty and I guess you can eventually just ban all those that do differ ... but it still won't make everything you say right. Silencing and banning doesn't make you right and the other party wrong. You know, you really have changed a lot since you started this forum. |

Yes, there is a point to it. The point you are making is that it's the Boomer's ideology that has fucked everything up and continues to do so, when in fact there is not much difference between Gen X and the Boomer's ideology on the issues you pointed out. It's a rotten, failed generation filled with the tiny minded.. You can say Generation X will be as bad, or worse.. But the report card isn't in yet. I know how much you dislike being disagreed with, or shown that some of your premises may be faulty and I guess you can eventually just ban all those that do differ ... but it still won't make everything you say right. Silencing and banning doesn't make you right and the other party wrong. You know, you really have changed a lot since you started this forum. And that is uncalled for.. You're an absurd troll.. You're in no position to call me down for anything. THERE.. NOW you're got cause for calling me banhappy. |
