How are you balancing the budget with no tax increases? Harry Potter?

And there's a lot of self employed folks out there. Good to see you understand that we were fucked over. There's also a lot of lifetime employees (those that would take the time to study and understand their options), would opt for a privatized SS.

The ones who need it the least. Why not let hem buy lottery tickets?
As a mostly self employed person the cost of my services always reflected the need to pay the entire payroll tax.

Slounds like you're equating investing in the market w/ gambling. Although I'll agree that day trading is gambling. But I'm talking about real investing.

And they would be broke at retirement.
We aren't fucked over. The investment just isn't the same as for those who are employees who automatically double their money in every paycheck.

What happens to the millions who retired in '08 when their investments vanished?
Sure...with time the market comes back. But you are drawing down your principal every month upon retirement

We both know that it's more than two. Every single Republican would vote to kill what they call 'entitlements' the first time they had the chance to vote. Biden was a genius. He effectively made it impossible for McCarthy to bring the MAGAmoron's plan to a vote.

And the argument seems to be that you can't pay half of your FICA, and still have enough to invest with? Does everyone spend half of their paycheck on cigarettes?

Entitlements are for freeloaders. Medicaid, welfare, SNAP. Something for nothing. SS and Medicare are programs we pay into and get less out of than what we paid.?

How many people have that skill? Not many. And the ones that do will get the money of the ones that don’t. We have mechanisms for people to invest in the market. Social security will become nothing but a predatory program. I can see the ads now. It’s a HORRIBLE idea.

It was never going to go anywhere because most people now understand that it is too late to reform out of economic collapse.......they ride this train till the crash.....hopping that it is not today.
I choose my own words like the Americans of olden times........before this dystopia arrived.
