2. THEY think anyone that isn't forcing their way into a position of wealth is a loser regardless of

how hard you work, or if you're disabled. They're arrogant, ignorant, and selfish. We must keep them from taking over - they're intolerance is breathtaking.

4. Ponzi scheme?

Not even close. You don't run out of people putting into the system with Social Security like you do with Ponzi schemes, unless everybody in America stops having babies. Please people, we can't repeat the without thought stuff the wingnuts put out there. Someone will start to believe it.

5. I disagree

you don't have to have run out of people putting into the system, all you need to have happen is income becomes less than payouts. The social security trustees predict this to happen in 2016. Now, if congress (and other pension systems) would quit robbing the surplus that these programs have, it would be a different story. Unfortunately it is not.

That is the message we need to get across; currently SS and most state pension programs are being robbed to the effect that they are now nothing more than simple ponzi schemes.
