Where to begin...
Communism - look up the definition
Social Security - This is the essence of socialism
Death Panels - again, Medicare is the essence of socialism. I am not for death panels, I am for seniors being responsible for their own health care costs and having individuals decide the cost/benefit of quality of life health issues. The government simply cannot afford to keep paying these costs (socialism).
As you can see, your arguments are contradictory. Do you want socialism or do you think programs like social security, medicare, and medicaid to be eliminated?
First,
I was commenting on your acceptance of “Means Testing” That is REDISTRIBUTION OF WEALTH, or moving toward Socialistic/Marxist Principles.
I don’t believe in Social Security being a forced retirement system. People should have the “Freedom” to choose whether they want 12-13% with employers contribution, given to the government for this retirement program or opting out, and not getting a dime of social security when you get older.
To me, Social Security is outright theft. I can manage my own retirement for my family and I. I will take the risks if I am wrong. I don’t need the Nanny State to try and manage my retirement.
Social Security is Socialism and a Ponzi Scheme, and should be eventually cut off completely and terminated. It is also not Constitutional for the Federal Gov. to impose this social program on all citizens.
They should then have an optional retirement system.
You also said “I am for seniors being responsible for their own health care costs and having individuals decide the cost/benefit of quality of life health issues. The government simply cannot afford to keep paying these costs (socialism).”
Under the current gov. run medicare medicaid system, if people continue to make their own decisions, the country will go bankrupt.
We need an entire new Healtcare System, based on Free Market Principles.
I believe that eventually Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid should be eliminated and replaced by Free Market Principles and Programs.
