I want to hear some good ideas...
Posted on 02/11/2005 10:04:15 AM PST by AnnAdoringFan
This is my first post here. I wanted to say hello and introduce myself. As you can tell by my handle, I'm a huge Ann Coulter fan. :-)
I've actually been checking out the site for a while... ever since a friend mentioned for about the third time. I finally decided to get registered today (slow day at work...).
Anyway, here's the topic:
I am really psyched up about the idea of partially privatizing social security. in fact, I wish it'd been done years ago. and I want it to be to a higher percent. so I wrote to both my senators and my congressman about it.
what other ideas are out there that could help improve our country???
I want to hear them... anybody have ideas??
one of my favorites...
make tax day and election day one and the same. maybe make it a national holiday... call it Good Citizenship Day or something.
the point is, right now, tax day is about as far from election day as it can get. but do you think people would vote differently if they had to turn in their taxes at the polls, just before they go pull the lever?
I also think that turning in your tax forms at the polls would encourage more people to vote... they'd BE there already anyway.

I like the idea of ending witholding. If people scream about having to cut a check and not having the money, maybe the government could make witholding part of your private social security account. You'd still have to cut the check, but some of your check would be put aside for taxes at the first of the year. It would still annoy people to have to cut a check from their account.

Not a good idea to post a vanity first thing, so you're gonna' take some heat.

"You want to see a true tax revolution in America? End withholding and make everyone file quarterly and WRITE A CHECK for what they owe."
That's brilliant! I'm one of those that pays in only what I owe and not a penny more. No friggin' way do they get my money as an interest-free loan all year to squander like drunken sailors on leave! It's MY money. I earned it, and it needs to be working for ME during the year.
You're absolutely right. No one thinks about it, they just accept it.
As for the original poster: Just read, read, read and educate yourself on SS. Get your own money house in order, and invest all you can for your own retirement. If we ever get any of our money shaken loose from the grasp of the Government, it's going to be a miracle, so do what you can to protect your own future.
Consider any SS money you see in the future as "gravy" on top of your pile of mashed taters (your own retirement savings.) :)

If you've lurked a while, you should know that posting vanities is annoying to the kitties. On a good day, when their bellies are full of DU troll and the sun is shining, you might be ok. On a bad day, get ready for the ZOT!!
