"People like you are so smug about your virtues that you deserve to be hit by a bus and spend the rest of yout life paralyzed and dependant on the good will and generosity of others."

That it quite honestly one of the most evil things I've seen posted here recently.

Social Security is a social insurance program, not a savings program.

And that's exactly what's wrong with it. A fully funded investment account approach would generate significantly higher benefits, plus an inheritable estate. Moving all Americans into the investor class would be a good thing. Democrats fear it because they want to keep people dependent.

"If you make over a certain amount per year, and it's not a large amount by any means, you can't collect SS."

Then tell me why my Grandfather couldn't collect any SS unless me made below $12,000 a year?
