- astazangasta 7y agoYou realize that this is why you wont see a dime from it, right? Because you think you shoild dismantle it? There is no other problem with social security other than people who want to kill it. Its funded by a fucking payroll tax. It isn't going anywhere.

- exelius 7y agoThis is exactly the kind of centrist bullshit that caused the mess we’re in.

- dade_ 7y agoWe need financial literacy taught in high school. Imagine a world where people actually understood the basics of how to build wealth instead of a bunch of blathering financial basket cases complaining about tax money being wasted on the poor.
- jhayward 7y agoThis is ironic. College freshmen said the exact same thing when I started college. In 1978. Social Security has always been eminently fixable by extremely modest changes in taxation. It is folks with attitudes like the one expressed above who have consistently put off making those changes.
