The problem is that a lot of people do not work their whole life. There are a lot of people who live off the government their whole life, acting as little more than baby-making machines, sucking up more and more welfare. I think these people should not be allowed to do that, and they definately should not be allowed to collect more money at the end of a life time spent doing that.
I think that Social Security can not be a garunteed safety net, if it is, it will only encourage some people to lean on it. | Well said tadpole. I have a couple of Russian friends who laugh at the Americans they see here. He said it is stupid to see people complaining about low pay when they came from another country, got an education, and worked it up big. It's just so easy. |
