Was it Howard Zinn or Noam Chomsky who described these types of arguments as: "fighting over the scraps".
The point being that we are missing the bigger picture - the massive bulk of the money is going to the rich and we need to fix that problem. Then there will be plenty of money for Social Security - and it will be possible to fix it.
- joelrunyon 9y ago"the massive bulk of the money" What "the money?" Are you talking income, earnings, government payout, overall wealth? Your argument goes to crap really quickly unless you're specifying where the problem is originating from...
- MrTonyD 9y agoGuess you haven't heard about the 1% with most of the wealth? If so, then I don't think I can offer you any advice.
- joelrunyon 9y agoYou're being argumentative without being useful. You're not offering any advice at all. "THE MONEY" ≠ Wealth ≠ Income. They are separate, unique things. You need to acknowledge the differences before you can have a useful discussion. Unless, of course, you're just mad that some people have a lot of money. In which case, you can just yell about some people having "ALL THE MONEY" and not actually work towards a solution.
