I'll bet most of the senior citizens think they paid into the Social Security "pension plan" and are now collecting what's owed'em. They couldn't be more wrong than if they prayed to Satan. That Social Security Trust Fund (really pay-as-you-go) system is sucking the life out of the Baby Boomers. We pay for the retired, the fatherless, the poor, the lazy, and the illegals. And now we adding a Rx program. You think that 3% or 4% that your parents paid in earned enough money to pay for all these lavish benefits? If so, why do you think you're paying 8% into the fund? That's right, your parents (bless their hearts) got all their money back years ago, and are now essentially collecting Welfare. That means it's no longer earned retirement but free money out of your paycheck. Unfortunately most of our senior citizens don't realize this, otherwise they wouldn't ask the Taj Mahal marble-columned legions at AARP to go lobby for more benefits.
It's really quite pathetic how this has happened. I don't want a poor widow to go hungry and sick, but this rape of Social Security has got to stop. The elderly need to be educate to the fact that Social Security is not a retirement plan, but was a tool of the New Deal to reduce destitution after the Great Depression. Hell, the first beneficiaries never even paid in. Those against the privatization of Social Security have no idea what they are supporting; the continued financial rape of their posterity. I understand their fear and I almost pity them, but this rape of Social Security must stop.
Quite frankly the whole system should be abolished, it's a huge waste of money and morally bankrupt. Now let the debate and nay-saying commence.
