We should stop demomcrafts’ spending spree!

USA is already bankrupt.

Let boomers pay their own shits.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 85188299


You're an idiot. I worked 51 years for my earned retirement. Go ahead and cut it, someone is going to die. I am extraordinarily well armed and I really don't have a lot on my schedule. Call my bluff.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 84349199


Your money was given to the previous generation. Gen X and after will have "earned" their retirements as well - but they won't get them- will they?

Your SS payments are taken directly from the paychecks of those younger generations - both as SS taxes AND as regular taxes to pay off the government bonds

So tell me again how you are willing to kill younger people if they don't let you steal from them anymore?
 Quoting: Weisshaupt


Are you going to file for social security when you are eligible?
 Quoting: tiger1


If I could give up those benefits to buy my kids out of the system I would. I personally don't expect the dollar to last till I could collect, much less social security.

I don't begrudge anyone trying to get back what was stolen from them - and while the system allows that - go ahead and do it . But don't pretend you are entitled to that money and don't pretend that you aren't doing it at the expense of others and don't support any politician that will prolong the systems existence. The system is inherently wrong and immoral .

Don't waste your breath. Most of the kids today DGAF about reality or accountability - they want their free shit and they don't want to work.

If they perceive of YOU getting free shit that they aren't, they don't care why... they want it for THEM and they'll step over their dog's dying body to take it from you.

I work, I pay, I receive. That money is MINE, and if it's not coming from where it's supposed to> Not my problem. You don't like it, blame the people that stole from you. That's not me.

And before you go wasting any breath answering me, children - don't. Your entitled opinion means exactly shit to me. When you try to justify stealing from ME by pretending I've stolen from you, you just lost any credibility you may have had in this LIFE, never mind in my opinion.

Not a 'mer... just not an idiot.

Cheers.

 Quoting: MountainTux NLI


The money you accept is blood money- it was stolen. If you hire a hit man to kill someone are you not responsible for the murder? The government stole form you and gave your money to someone else. Now they are stealing an giving it to you - so not you are happy. We aren't pretending that you are stealing from us - its a proven fact. The idea that using a proxy absolves you of guilt is laughable.

This is boomer morality in a nutshell. Its okay as long as I get mine.

No one will weep for the elderly when they are cut off- which they will be. The dollar is collapseing . It will die before SS does. Your little check won't buy a peanut and you will starve, and deserve to

because you think they are entitled to make your losses whole by stealing from others. Moral Degenerate.

Great, just great.

All those people too old and disabled to pass an interview. I'm 66, tell me about it.

Without Social Security and Medicare we turn into India, with people abandoned on the sidewalk everywhere you go. Begging becomes the plan.

Don't forget the gang wars between different groups of the hard off, like we saw in Cairo, Egypt. Takes your breath away to see people who are natural allies hating and hurting each other because they exercised "begging rights" in another groups territory.

You know, I am disabled. So is my wife. If we didn't get social security we would die. We get just barely enough to survive. There is zero extra to save or plan for. I am getting sick of people like you wanting to make my life even harder. It's not my fault those idiots in office took the money from the trust fund. But they did. That doesn't make the obligation of the government go away.

Leave us poor folk alone. We have it bad enough. We can't survive any cuts. It's bad enough they took away our food stamps. Try to live off $75 a month in food. Just try. See if you think you need less.
 Quoting: ookie


The whole thing was a PONZI scheme from the beginning.
Moral people would have realized this was going to bankrupt their kids and demanded it be repealed. The Boomers were the only generation that had the required size to make a difference. They instead CHOOSE to burden future generations with their retirements - just as you are arguing that you still deserve something out of other people's pockets now.

Shouldn't you be living with your kids? Shouldn't you kids be taking care of you? If they won't, why should I , a complete stranger be doing that? Its your generation's prevalent collectivist attitude that other people are resources for your own use that is the problem. You are responsible for you - You should have saved for your old age. You should have children that care enough about you to care for you. I am not responsible for your life, and if you die why should I care? You see me as a walking wallet- not a person. SO why should I treat you like a person when you won't reciprocate?
 Quoting: Weisshaupt


Some people don't have children to take care of them. The disabled and elderly contributed a chunk of their earnings to Social Security and have every right to collect on it when eligible.
You will be old some day. Are your kids, if you have any, going to take care of you? You will find out, won't you?
 Quoting: tiger1


I am gen X
I knew from Day one that my money was being taken from me NEVER to be returned. I have every "right" to collect it to, correct? Only I won't ever be able to because the system will be bankrupt and the dollar itself worthless. I was forced - at government gunpoint - to pay for these benefits I will never get. That is called theft.

I accordingly took care of my own needs as these old people should have. I have my own wealth and kids who will take care of me.

The money they paid were stolen from them and paid to others. Why should they get to make themselves whole from this theft by stealing from me? They had 40 years to put an end to it , but knowing they would profit and Gen X and later would be screwed - they did nothing. And I should feel sorry for them? Why?

Ponzi Schemes are illegal for a reason and the fat the the government runs one for their own profit ( I am also paying the interest on the SS bonds with my taxes in addition to SS for supposedly myself. )
They knowingly relied upon a system of theft to meet their needs. I am supposed to feel sorry for them? Why should I feel sorry for thieves who plan to met there needs by using other peolpe as their salves?

So If I get sick I should come and steal from you to pay my bills? You don't get to claim the moral high ground while advocating theft or that the ends justify the means. Neither is moral . You are only proving you are an immoral person unfit to live in a moral society. It is moral to help others for sure but only if it is done voluntarily. Of course, collectivists see other people as resources - not as people, so the idea of voluntary charity is far, far beyond their understanding. Collectivism is , after all, simply politically expressed narcissism. And your "moral" collectivist society - has already made it perfectly clear I am on my own in my old age because there will be no money and no system for me. All ponzi schemes end this way and only immoral people propose them

Bullshit.
SS was supposed to be insurance, in case you lived long enough to be unable to work.
Just like car insurance, you are paying a premium.
That is why no money is paid if you die before retirement age.
The problem was that Washington took the money and spent it, it was supposed to have been left alone.
 Quoting: Confederate Soldier



No, sorry, everything I said was true. It doesn't matter what you think it was "supposed" to be.
It started out literally paying benefits to people who never paid in. That is the definition of a ponzi scheme.

the Supreme court already determined its just a tax and that no one who paid the tax is entitled to anything. Hence it is NOT insurance, even if it was "supposed" to be
Insurance, by the way - covers things that MIGHT happen -distributing the risk - you know you will get old hence there is no need for "insurance" unless you provide so little value to others that you can't afford to save money like a responsible person would and then decide you will live off of others by stealing from them.

If it is such a great idea- why do people have to be forced to pay into it? Why are they not allowed to opt out if you can show you will be taken care of by your own means? ( Actually the Amish are allowed to do so)

One COULD set up a retirement insurance without the fed and mandatory participaton couldn't they? They didn't. Its not insurance. Its a ponzi scheme to steal your money and give it to the government and that is exactly what happened.

 Quoting: Weisshaupt


Again, the lack of comprehension and intelligence here is breathtaking. I don't "accept" anything because I'm working and paying... Just like every adult who accepts responsibility for themselves.

I noticed how much your tone and message changed when asked if YOU were going to feed at the trough... such hedging. You're laughable and you have the temerity to question OTHERS' morals, which says everything that anyone needs to know about you.

When you put money in the bank, and it's insured, you know full well that they will be investing it elsewhere. You also know that they're responsible for keeping it safe and handing it back when you withdraw it.

When you sk the bank for that dollar, do you demand proof that it's the same physical dollar? No, you don't, because you know it won't be. You also don't CARE. That's simply how it works.

So you can try to play your silly perspective games but you're not fooling any adults of ANY age or generation. Your anger has nothing to do with morality and everything to do with the fact that unlike when my career began, you're likely going to be working to a hundred if you live that long. Sucks, and I appreciate that it does, but the blame for that doesn't fall on people just doing what they need to and getting back what they give.

Your optics are skewed, you aren't nearly as smart as you believe yourself to be, and this conversation is nothing but a rant by children that want a scapegoat because the current government isn't providing you with the free life you expected.

I've paid, and paid, and there's nothing at all immoral about getting back mine when it's time. Feel free to NOT do so if you have the opportunity... But I somehow suspect that if you actually grow up to live that long that you'll be singing a vastly different song. Heck, anyone paying attention has already heard you humming the tune.

Some people don't have children to take care of them. The disabled and elderly contributed a chunk of their earnings to Social Security and have every right to collect on it when eligible.

That is called theft.

I accordingly took care of my own needs as these old people should have. I have my own wealth and kids who will take care of me.

The money they paid were stolen from them and paid to others. Why should they get to make themselves whole from this theft by stealing from me?

Ponzi Schemes are illegal for a reason and the fat the the government runs one for their own profit ( I am also paying the interest on the SS bonds with my taxes in addition to SS for supposedly myself. )

Of course, collectivists see other people as resources - not as people, so the idea of voluntary charity is far, far beyond their understanding. Collectivism is , after all, simply politically expressed narcissism.

Re: We need to cut back medicare and social security from retired boomers

The whole thing was a PONZI scheme from the beginning.
Moral people would have realized this was going to bankrupt their kids and demanded it be repealed. The Boomers were the only generation that had the required size to make a difference. They instead CHOOSE to burden future generations with their retirements - just as you are arguing that you still deserve something out of other people's pockets now.

Shouldn't you be living with your kids? Shouldn't you kids be taking care of you? If they won't, why should I , a complete stranger be doing that? Its your generation's prevalent collectivist attitude that other people are resources for your own use that is the problem. You are responsible for you - You should have saved for your old age. You should have children that care enough about you to care for you. I am not responsible for your life, and if you die why should I care? You see me as a walking wallet- not a person. SO why should I treat you like a person when you won't reciprocate?
 Quoting: Weisshaupt


Bullshit.
SS was supposed to be insurance, in case you lived long enough to be unable to work.
Just like car insurance, you are paying a premium.
That is why no money is paid if you die before retirement age.
The problem was that Washington took the money and spent it, it was supposed to have been left alone.
 Quoting: Confederate Soldier



No, sorry, everything I said was true. It doesn't matter what you think it was "supposed" to be.
It started out literally paying benefits to people who never paid in. That is the definition of a ponzi scheme.

the Supreme court already determined its just a tax and that no one who paid the tax is entitled to anything. Hence it is NOT insurance, even if it was "supposed" to be
Insurance, by the way - covers things that MIGHT happen -distributing the risk - you know you will get old hence there is no need for "insurance" unless you provide so little value to others that you can't afford to save money like a responsible person would and then decide you will live off of others by stealing from them.

If it is such a great idea- why do people have to be forced to pay into it? Why are they not allowed to opt out if you can show you will be taken care of by your own means? ( Actually the Amish are allowed to do so)

One COULD set up a retirement insurance without the fed and mandatory participaton couldn't they? They didn't. Its not insurance. Its a ponzi scheme to steal your money and give it to the government and that is exactly what happened.
 Quoting: Weisshaupt

Read the legislation.
 Quoting: Confederate Soldier


I have. Have you? What in that legislation do you think contradicts what I have said?

You understand legislation can be repealed right? Its not a contract.

They have altered benefits and the taxes many times in the past via legislation - what you pay in has nothing to do what what you will get out - if anything . A bankrupt system is , in fact, bankrupt. A worthless currency is , in fact worthless


Did you notice that you didn't even directly address any point I have made. Not one. Know why?

For 40 years of your work, what you earned doesn't even account for 10% of the money the government will need to spend on you in the future. And saying that you've paid everything off is ridiculous. It’s like you are asking for something worth a thousand dollars after paying only a hundred dollars.


This is socialism.

A significant proportion of those that PAID IN won’t get anything - they are dead

Neither will their families

 Quoting: Confederate Soldier


Insurance is based on a contract. Social Security is a tax and you aren't legally owed any benefits if the government decides not to pay you. Further insurance covers risks - we all get a old. That isn't a risk. Its a known, very predictable event. Finally insurance is contracted for voluntarily. Social Security is in no way "insurance" - it is a ponzi scheme with mandatory participation that will be bankrupt in less than a decade


Did you notice you rudely failed to address any thing I said directly and instead tried to disingenuously frame the debate in terms of of a non-sequitur: "insurance"

Yes I have life insurance - it pays out a SET amount I
contracted for given a set premium in the even of my death .

Yes I have liability car insurance - it pays out set set amount based on a premium based on a legal contract I consented to provided I am the cause of an accident to cover another person's losses.

Yes I have fire insurance - its a legal contract I consented to that pays out a set amount in the event of a fire I did not cause.

Social security does not have a contract .It is legislation that collects a tax. Benefits and taxes are set by legislation and can be changed at at time without penalty and without my consent. It Iis run as a ponzi schemme using the current generations payments to pay out an older generations claims. Any insurance company operating in this manner would be shut down and the owners would go to jail.

Are you really this stupid?

So you agree it is immoral to collect it then? I am not going to argue the morality of my actions with someone who has no morals or standards of their own. Rules for me but not for thee.

Further, I don't consider it stealing - it IS stealing by the common definition of that word. That is the word we use when things are taken from you without your permission. You will note that We the People never gave the federal government a legitimate power to even implement such a system, much less pay for it by forced taxation.

If a politician takes taxes to cover hookers and blow its immoral , correct? So if they misappropriate funds or other reasons that are not within their jurisdiction or grant of power it is ALSO immoral,correct?

Hence running this system is stealing. But then since you apparently have no moral principles other than "give me what I want" I doubt the concept of stealing being wrong is within your grasp. For stealing to be wrong - you would have to acknowledge the other person has rights, and narcissists don't believe that.

As I responded to a similar accusation I will not argue the morality of my actions with a someone who has no morality of their own. It is - objectively and empirically - stealing - as it is property taken without permission or consent. But since you see others are mere resources YOU own and can use for your own selfish agenda to advance your personal causes , you see nothing wrong with that .

Fruther the theft began with the first payment - because people who had never paid in got benefits. THat is what its a ponzi scheme. It was made worse by the government stealing funds form the system as well but the entire system is inherently immoral.

A moral society takes care of those who are sick, disabled, or elderly. God forbid you would get a terrible disease, like cancer. See how long your money would hold out, and your kids money also.
 Quoting: tiger1


So If I get sick I should come and steal from you to pay my bills? You don't get to claim the moral high ground while advocating theft or that the ends justify the means. Neither is moral . You are only proving you are an immoral person unfit to live in a moral society. It is moral to help others for sure but only if it is done voluntarily. Of course, collectivists see other people as resources - not as people, so the idea of voluntary charity is far, far beyond their understanding. Collectivism is , after all, simply politically expressed narcissism. And your "moral" collectivist society - has already made it perfectly clear I am on my own in my old age because there will be no money and no system for me. All ponzi schemes end this way and only immoral people propose them
 Quoting: Weisshaupt


The theft was done by the government raiding the social security money that people had taken out of their checks. Maybe you should take the moral high ground you espouse,and refuse social security when you are eligible. After all, you say it is stealing other peoples money.
 Quoting: tiger1


As I responded to a similar accusation I will not argue the morality of my actions with a someone who has no morality of their own. It is - objectively and empirically - stealing - as it is property taken without permission or consent. But since you see others are mere resources YOU own and can use for your own selfish agenda to advance your personal causes , you see nothing wrong with that .

Fruther the theft began with the first payment - because people who had never paid in got benefits. THat is what its a ponzi scheme. It was made worse by the government stealing funds form the system as well but the entire system is inherently immoral.
 Quoting: Weisshaupt


Your moral high ground is a sham. You say we steal, but yet you have not answered as to whether you will collect your social security when eligible. I would guess you will, which will make you a hypocrite. Do as I say, not as I do, seems to be your mantra.
Praise God from Whom all Blessings flow !!!
