For the record; the "over 65" demographic is the wealthiest single group in the USA. They control more assets, stocks, bonds and other investments than the rest of the country put together. They have the highest average net worth of any age group (almost three times the average net worth of the 35-44 age group) AND THIS IS BY AARP's OWN FIGURES!!!

(AARP Wealth Distribution Survey)

Social security is an entitlement program for the rich!

Just wait 'til Gates hits 65.

Seriously, folks earning more than $25-$50,000 per year before SS should return the money in order to help those who aren't so lucky as the snowbirds and blue hairs.

I don't need an AARP survey to tell me that seniors are wealthier that younger people who have house payments and kids to support. That doesn't mean seniors are rich... it just means they have put away a few crumbs now that their kids have stopped eating them!

Privatizing social security will at least give they a chance to be well off in retirement.
