>You’re the one defending wealth distribution. Taking SS away from the people who have paid the most into it and giving it to the people who have paid the least into it.

It already is wealth re-distribution. I’m advocating a refinement of the process so that is more apparent. Thus people won’t be fooling themselves otherwise.

Let’s repeat this one more time for those who don’t care to read, there is no trust fund. You don’t have an investment. You don’t actually have any claim on that nonexistent money.

If you wish to press a claim you will be looting future taxpayers. The government doesn’t have a money tree out back to harvest for the funds.

>I still believe those of you how are supporting this position either already have their SS and know it won’t be taken away from them, or don’t believe they’ll be included as part of the “wealthy”.

No, we have a different position which is called reality. You can’t plumb a dry well. There’s a train wreck looming and some of us are suggesting means which are politically feasible to avert it to even some degree.

Now that is just total BS. Unless and until the law is changed, we DO have a valid claim.

Tell you what you do. You lobby your congresscritter and I'll lobby mine. We'll see how it comes out.
