Christie, keep your filthy communist paws off our Social Security. Its bad enough that the feds are now taxing it (confiscating part of it).
We paid for this miserable pension. We paid...most of us involuntarily... for years and yaers and years.
STAY AWAY from our social security, you da*ned Thief!
(if you insist on confiscating more Soc Security pension payments, start doing it with the NEW enrollees, not with the rest of us who’ve already been paying in. It is DISHONEST in the extreme to tell us what we will receive all these years, while taxing us for it........and then take what you promised away from us. Crooked thieves!
Christie is simply saying aloud what politicians have been doing quietly for years: They will keep the program solvent by increasing the retirement age (which they have already done), and it will be means-adjusted (which is coming). Those childless Americans who thought they’d build their nest-eggs with non-taxable contributions to 401Ks are going to find that they’ll get almost no SS, while those who socked away nothing will get nice monthly SS payments.
I stopped my 401K contributions years ago (I needed the money for the present expenses of raising a family); if I’m able to re-start them it would only be to the extent it is matched by my employer. Socialism simply doesn’t reward those who work hard and put something away for a rainy day; rather, it apeases the grasshoppers who frolic and play while the ants work away...
