Seriously, the Social Security proposal is the right thinking -- to protect those at the lower end rather than provide for the entitlement of lavish living for the well-to-do, as some notion of misguided justice. It was intended as an insurance program so people in their vulnerable years had a floor supporting them -- and not foster the middle-class notion that retirement should be the fulfillment of every fantasy they've nurtured over the years as their entitlement.
And that's what your newspapers have deluded their readership with -- those false notions of life and reality by blurring the distinction between the true and the false. It is just what "they" say -- and they can cite whatever expert, study, poll they want to support it -- and suppress any information they don't want the public to know.
It's just time for society and culture to take the next step up -- leaving the demagogues at your local newspapers to rant to their groupies still left.
This is just another socalist power grab, to penalize those that did something with their lives. Before you start complaining about rich selfishness, I was dirt poor as a kid and grew up in the projects, so you can stuff your pity for the useless and non proforming up your a$$, I saw them all as a kid.
