When you hit 65 and over,its not just a job, your body cannot do what it use to...so raising the age doesn’t help much those in that age bracket...They better have the where-with-all to take care of themselves before medicare kicks in....The idea of Bill Gates and Buffet or Perot collecting social secutity is ridiculus.....uber-rich should not be collecting.
One of the problems is that twenty-somethings are suckered into believing they have to purchase a house.
Money should be saved so that when they are 40, they can invest that money either in their own business, or purchasing something like rental properties that can generate income. Because by that age, you simply cannot rely on working for somebody else anymore.
Why not? They contributed, didn't they? They're entitled. Period.
Once you means test, it's welfare! Which means, if SS is means-tested, anyone collecting a check is on welfare! LOL!
SS should be phased out.
