if you kill the future payers of your social security then it will

not be there for you to collect

ss goes into the general fund and is spent by congress for things other

than retirement plans

you misunderstood my meaning

that was a sarcastic statement

the united states tho the war cost us plenty

went through nothing lick those countries that had to live the war

in everyday life dealing with the daily bombings and gunfire and destruction of their intrastructure

i was not trying to belittle your country in anyway

And this estimate may be low. I read recently that some 44 million Americans live below the poverty level, and I think that was reflecting US Census data.

Perhaps even more distressing is the enormous and widening gap between those who are paid at the highest levels and the rest of the people. The ratio of what the highest person in a corporation is paid compared to the lowest has multiplied several times in the last decades.

Is this really the kind of country we want to have?

I've met the richest poorest people that really have a a great idea of what life is really about. It would be a good thing if the children of the next generation break that cycle. That's why were spending so much of our hard earned tax dollars torwards their education.

If preserving the next generation means I gotta give 15.00 every other week outta my paycheck I sure aint gonna sit around and complain if it's actually going torwards that cause.

In my lifetime i've known people that have worked their whole lives. I've also met rich people, who's definition of "rich" is complete and disregard for the price of anything.

Somebody translate what this guy is trying to tell me? I know he's talking but he's just not making any sense. Izzy, leave the smart stuff to us grown ups. I can't even take you seriously. How am I suppose to consider you worth debating with when you can't even spell. Get an education then come back to this thread. hug

Sunshine is a fine thing but Arkansas sunshine is humid and muggy. Sunsets are more enjoyable here in the summer.
