Perry is right, SocSec is a ponzi scheme.

Problem is, many Americans have an entitlement mentality.

Perry needs to do a better job in explaining the dire need for immediate SocSec reform policy.

Your problem is that you would not do well on a cash register. I know you ~ you're the guy who is all the time trying to give me change for a $5 when I've given you a $20 and its sitting there on the counter.

No, people who have paid into Social Security do not have an ENTITLEMENT MENTALITY, they believe they are OWNERS.

At the same time i don't believe the poll results are legitimate. Most of us know very well how Social Security works ~ and it works just like any Ponzi scheme except on the payout side. If it were a real Ponzi scheme the first folks paid off would have gotten back much more than they'd paid in ON THE VERY FIRST PAYBACK.

Remember the deal with a successful Ponzi scheme is that you get the first dozen or so participants to get back truly incredibly large paybacks very early in the game. They do your advertising for you.

Now I don't know if you'd noticed but with Social Security if you don't pay they send guys after you with guns. Ponzi didn't do that. Makes a huge whopping difference in the way the game is run too.
