Let’s call this proposal what it is - HIGHWAY ROBBERY!
Let’s get it straight - everyone of the people that this black-masked thief calling himself Jim Roumell had no choice but to “contribute” to Social Security. These “contributions” were backed up by the full force of the Federal Government and the IRS. There was no option.
So, after 40 plus years of hard work and risk taking what happens? Jim Roumell wants to take all of the “contributions” and give them to others who didn’t work as hard or took any risks. Why? Because the risk takers made too much and now, according to him, have no right to their “contributions”.
I wonder how the thief Jim Roumell would react if some super thief came to him and told him that his company, Roumeel Asset Management LLC, was too successful and he had to take both his personal money and the money from his clients and give them to less successful asset management LLCs?
I believe people argued that the rich should never have been included in the first place.
There are many “pencil necks” out there telling you to give up your money to support a government known for its irresponsible and wasteful spending, extravagant waste and cronyism. The government is controlled for the most part by tax and spend Democrats.
Unfunded liabilities now are 87 trillion.
Are you ok with the government printing 87 trillion in order to pay you what you are owed?
There are three options.
One - refusing to pay.
Two - bankruptcy later followed by erasing all these obligations.
Three - printing, leading to inflation and eventual currency collapse followed by bankruptcy and erasing all these obligations.
Those are your only options. Is it really worth it to you to get your and hopefully check out before the worst of it?
Justice and fairness demands cutting those who get welfare and unearned income first; they are taking from a pot they did not contribute to while taxpayers are forced. Very soon the coming socialism caused 500% inflation disaster will kill the hosts and there will be no more pot or arguments; the whole damn socialist gov’t gang of robbers will very shortly incinerate themselves; good riddance leftist welfare maggot hell-holes!
If any part of SS is denied to citizens who have paid in to it, it ceases to be constitutional based on the arguments given by the gov in the 1930’s court challenge to SS.
It would revert to a welfare program.
It should be abolished.
SSI stands for, Supplemental Security Income (SSI). One needs never to have paid in a cent to collect it.
SSDI stands for Social Security Disability Insurance, one must have paid in to Social Security for a minimum of 40 quarters to qualify.
Both are different from ordinary Social Security.
To heck with saving SS; let it die!
