Hiroki Posted November 6, 2004 Posted November 6, 2004 Yeah Kipper. It is to stop people who aren't injured at all from draining money from the government, and making hard working people pay so they can lay up on there lazy asses all day. It will not stop legitimately injured folks from using it.
Spider AL Posted November 6, 2004 Posted November 6, 2004 Are you referring to this: http://www.newsday.com/...ybusiness-headlines Kipper? Ahhh part-privatisation. The mark of an eroding society, every time.
kipperthefrog Posted November 6, 2004 Posted November 6, 2004 I read that article! I understand that people are going to be forced to gamble their retirement money into the stack market insted of social security! We might as well put it in the HORSE RACES! The whole point of social security is to have younger people pay for the old people to live! now we have to make today's youth play the stock market for retirement money! I never had experience with the stock market! thats social INSECURITY!
Hiroki Posted November 6, 2004 Posted November 6, 2004 Well, at least we don't have to pay for it anymore.

Hiroki Posted November 6, 2004 Posted November 6, 2004 Did I miss something? Sorry, not big on sports.
Tyrion Posted November 6, 2004 Posted November 6, 2004 Originally posted by Hiroki Did I miss something? Sorry, not big on sports. It was just the Massachusetts Donkeys and the Texan Elephants competing in the big game. It was close, conflicts were harsh and there was alot of dirty tactics used by both sides. By the end of the game though, Bush had downed Kerry with his famous "don't mess with Texas" tackle and had let Cheney score the winning touchdown.

Spider AL Posted November 6, 2004 Posted November 6, 2004 Don't YOU want to retire??? when you are old do YOU want to work when YOU are old and weak?Many people simply can't be bothered to look that far into the future. Sad, innit.

VERY sad indeed! if half us americans dont have the insight for THAT they deserve to suffer! That don't speak for those who DON"T deserve to suffer!
El Sitherino Posted November 7, 2004 Posted November 7, 2004 Originally posted by Hiroki Well, at least we don't have to pay for it anymore. wow, aren't you selfish. :x I for one will be glad when you're 70, can barely do your job and get fired with no money left to feed yourself and you die lonely and starved.
Rogue15 Posted November 7, 2004 Posted November 7, 2004 ah....i'll see you all in iraq when you get drafted.
Spider AL Posted November 7, 2004 Posted November 7, 2004 You won't see me, I'm British and not silly enough to sign up to fight for fascist overlords.

Well, when I'm 70, I won't be of any use to anybody, will I? Edit: And if you haven't caught on yet, I'm joking about the old folks.

I hope you actualy understand the needs of the elderly, and I hope the American public won't STAND for the removal of social security! I hope the workers protest NONviolently enough to get it through thier heads to get that benefit BACK!
Hiroki Posted November 7, 2004 Posted November 7, 2004 Though, perhaps at a tad bit less luxurious rate. And that I'm serious about. They need to live, but they don't need to be rich...
ET Warrior Posted November 7, 2004 Posted November 7, 2004 Right....I'm not sure who's been telling you about the super rich old people living off of social security...but you should ask them to actually research social security. I believe the income from social security of somebody over 70 is a good deal less than 20,000 dollars a year, and it keeps dwindling.
Spider AL Posted November 7, 2004 Posted November 7, 2004 Right....I'm not sure who's been telling you about the super rich old people living off of social security...Yeah, all those freeloading old fogies... If you're old, you don't need all that food and heating and stuff! PERKS! Leave the luxury to the youngsters! Thieving old geezers.
Hiroki Posted November 8, 2004 Posted November 8, 2004 Yeah, now we're talking! And don't get me started on old folks driving. Yeah, I want to get to work TODAY.

Spider AL Posted November 8, 2004 Posted November 8, 2004 I guess that means you're not in favour of Bush's social security policy then Ron. Bet you'd still vote for him though.
ET Warrior Posted November 8, 2004 Posted November 8, 2004 Originally posted by ronbrothers My mother receives only $700 a month. Which is HARDLY the luxuriously rich level :\ So I'm really not sure how much lower you think SS should go Hiroki...
ronbrothers Posted November 8, 2004 Posted November 8, 2004 Originally posted by Spider AL I guess that means you're not in favour of Bush's social security policy then Ron. Bet you'd still vote for him though. Actually, I've been in favor of privatizing social security since before Bush was in office. Social Security is not what it once was. At this point, it serves only as a supplement. I'm not counting on it when I retire unless something is done to fix it.
