A Ponzi Scheme is voluntary. If you are smart or cautious, you can avoid them completely. SS is enforced by the law, thus no amount of caution can allow you to avoid getting scammed.

SS is worse.

you can avoid SS either by not working or working for the federal government which for the most part is the same thing as far as I can see.

Spot on. Target destroyed. We cannot take half measures here. We’re attacking the Democrat demi-god FDR and all he stands for.

That policy was wrong and wrongly executed. It’s been done better elsewhere - Texas (counties) & Chile (an entire nation).

Social Security is voluntary. You don’t have to sign up. Of course, if you don’t then you don’t get tax breaks, can’t get a job, etc.

Yes indeed, SS is worse.

Mutt’s crew is hoping this will sink Perry, trouble is even us getting our measly SS “return on investment” know its a damn leftist ponzi scheme. Just because its from the GOV and has most of us hooked, doesn’t make it OK.

Perry hit that nail right on its pointy little head. If that’s all Mutt’s got, he’s sunk.
