“As for Social Security and Medicare, they should both be put in the road to privatization.”
Can you imagine what would happen if the 14 or 15% that now goes to SS would go directly to the workers AND what would happen if somehow Pension Plan type Insurance were allowed? We sort of call that an annuity.
Think of it, the 5+5% employee and employer PLUS the 6+6% current social security “contribution” all put into a retirement savings account. The amount is about right to secure retirements.
I agree.
Can you imagine every person on this board screeching about having paid for Social Security?
While it might mean never getting “mine” it might be amusing to watch them writhe on the floor.
