Romney should be ashamed to think that people can actually live off of Social Security.

You can’t blame Mittens for he has lived off “Daddy” all of his life and all that came to him was due to “Daddy’s” influence and pull.

How could someone who never made it on his own even conceive the notion that “the little people” could not exist on Social Security alone.

Not really looking to lay blame, but looking for solutions that will restore the people's individual control over their own resources. The discussion on SS should be on how to honor that which is owed, and simultaneously restore people's freedom to invest their resources as they see fit, instead of being subjected to illegal and unconstituional extortion foisted on them by a corrupt government.

Am I being idealistic? Yes I am, but great ideas are what created this country in the first place. I reject the current status quo as it is unsustainable and will eventually lead to implosion if not addressed soon.

I'm not a Romney supporter, but I'd suggest you go through his bio more carefully before making that crass statement. Yes, it helps to have a father who was CEO of a large corporation and a governor of a large state for three terms. But, to the best of my knowledge, Mitt is a Harvard law school alum and founded a successful company. And getting elected governor of Taxachusetts in the 1990s is no mean feat for any Republican, let alone one whose roots were out-of-state, who is a Mormon, and who comes from an upper crust background. So he has some impressive accomplishments which many sons of celebrity fathers have never even approached.
