Funny, last time I checked, with the Republicans talking about SS like it's welfare, every America paid 7.45% of their income to Uncle Sam - at a minimum.
Now, if the Republicans and their lackey's want to stop referring to SS as welfare or something even close to it then we might have something to talk about.
It is like welfare because what the average senior is getting is hundreds time more than they put into it. And most young people think they'll never get back what they are puttting into it now.
That's pure crap. I guess if you're going to shovel **** you may as well pile it high.It is like welfare because what the average senior is getting is hundreds time more than they put into it.
Then they're being mislead and/or stupid. But, hey, it's their future. If they need to relearn what previous generations already learned about and corrected for then so be it!And most young people think they'll never get back what they are puttting into it now.
Social Security is not welfare, and would be a very viable plan if two things had happened differently.It is like welfare because what the average senior is getting is hundreds time more than they put into it. And most young people think they'll never get back what they are puttting into it now.
And I can assume from here on out that you will add into all income below ~$106k that 7.45% of Fed taxes, right?It is like welfare because what the average senior is getting is hundreds time more than they put into it.

I mostly agree although that investment in other bonds is a little discerning. Doesn't matter, though. Even with standard Fed rates there's plenty there for the average retiree, with some very minor corrections to account for unforeseen and unpredictable economic disasters.Social Security is not welfare, and would be a very viable plan if two things had happened differently.
First, the Government did not start declaring surplus SS receipts as deficit offsets. (I am not talking about the special bonds,but outright theft.)
Second SS be allowed to invest in other stable paths. Municipal bonds, ect..
If a person put 15% of every dollar earned below $100K for 40 years, and that money earned a modest return.
the person would not live long enough to get all of it back at today's SS payments.

No more than they will ignore that the current policies aren't working to fix the broken system...
you keep yammering about old tax rates as if those were fair or necessary.
I am still waiting for somebody to explain what is "fair".
If I make $500,000 a year, what is my "fair share" I should pay in federal income taxes.
Right now I believe it is 35%. Why isn't that "fair"?
Wassamatta, couldn't back up your claim that the higher tax rates of the 90's put corporations out of business???:lamo
Man you are getting rooked, Romeny only pays 14%! Do you think is fair the super rich only pay 14% and you have to pay 35%?
that is not the issue
He still pays a higher rate than you do and more importantly, he pays more in a year than you pay in a life time and yet you will use more government services than he will
That was your reason given for not discontinuing their tax cuts. Just another of the ridiculous claims that you make and then run away from.
LOL! Romney pays a lower effective total tax rate than most of the country, including me!
Man you are getting rooked, Romeny only pays 14%! Do you think is fair the super rich only pay 14% and you have to pay 35%?
What do you think?
No, No ,No, Everyday 3 or more water mains break, thousands ofbridges need repair or replacing. There are jurisdictions where are certian 911 calls (against woman) the chief of police won't let his men roll, due to lack of officers. Many urban areas fear a major fire, what with skeleton crews in firehouses. There are classrooms with 40 kids & we are way behind in science/math.The Romney-bot says the federal government doesn't pay for cops, firefighters & teachers, but I guess he can be forgiven his ignorance because he's never been a governor. What, what's that you say, he was a governor? He accepted block grants from the fed. Gov. for police & fire fighter & teachers? Then he's willfully lying? But I digress,The top teir "Job Creators" haven't come through on the implyed promise of the Bush Tax cuts, they have been pocketing the savings rather than "Creating Jobs", in America at least. But instead of "creating" new taxpayers, they have added burdens on the remaining taxpayer, by laying off millions of American workers, sending their work offshore.
A modest increase to pre-Bush rates, let's pass President Obama's Jobs Bill & get to work on American Inferstructure, before another bridge collapses, while putting American's back to work.eace
stop lying, his overall effective federal tax on his income is about 14%-people like you don't pay near that much.
I have had years where I pay that much. And when I don't its not far off that.

The only profession I know off off the bat that pays higher is what my dad does - as a minister he has to pay both sides of FICA out of his pocket, so he get's hit with 15.2 right out the gate.
