Oh my God, another chat room millionaire. Don't you have something better to with your time? you are a joke.

Hey everybody, nuttyjoe says he is a multimillionaire. Let's get nuttyjoe to send us all some money.

Thanks Sarge. People, Take heed here. No matter whether you agree or not, the fact remains that if you are thinking Social Security will be enough to retire on; you are going to be in for a rude awakening.Even assuming that it remains solvent throughout your retirement; it simply is not enough! That is why you are going to have to educate yourselves more on money, and stop lhoping for miracles.

For yourself, the generation after the Baby Boom generation, start organizing unions in your workplace and participate on a global union organizing scale. Fight the battle with big business to be sure they respect your rights. Organize a nationwide strike and shut the United States down and demand universal health care coverage, then help support and take care of your parents since they have been so good to you and raised you and fed you.

The 1930s was one of the most revolutionary times in America since 1776. Roosvelt was put into power by big business so that big business would save themselves from the Revolutionary Class. That was the whole plan, but in the end, Roosvelt was all about serving the economic interests of big business, so of course, he wanted private accounts. Both democrats and republicans are bought and paid for by big business. The entire US Congress is bought and paid for, they are their to do the business of business and not the business of the people.

I would hope that most people, at this point, are not relying on SS to carry them.

Unfortunately, KOS; there are still some of the elderly that are. What we must do now is to make sure that at retirement age, further generations are not put in this position. This is why I spoke earlier of the need to educate ourselves on financial matters. It is necessary.

Yet when you look at the Kentucky Claim that he so rests his hopes upon you will see that the Journal of the Senate clearly states that the adoption of the resolution was in the affirmative. Although the votes are listed as affirmative 9 and negative 22, could we not assume that this was a typo??? Nonetheless 36 states were needed to adopt the resolution, the record shows that 42 states did. So even if Kentucky was not to have accepted the amendment, the amendment would still have 41 states that did, 5 more than needed for ratification.

How about this novel idea, instead of waiting for the government to take care of you, instead of waiting for a union to help you, instead of demanding something that the government cannot provide, take the initiative and provide for yourself.

Invest in the stock market, open a mutual fund account, pay yourself first. If you do not like the current health insurance, utilize a health savings account, where as a young person who is generally healthy you can save money and have that money roll over year in and year out until you are older and then have the funds necessary to pay for the health care you will need.

The one thing I will agree with is the need for the younger generation to take care of their own parents. They raised you, fed you, clothed you, and paid for your education, now is the time to return the favor.


A private account in social security is the business of the people. The current system pays a rate of return of around 1% on the money you pay into it. By allowing younger wage earners to keep even a portion of their contributions to invest as they see fit will be a great benefit. Even if only by investing in a savings account, the rate of return would be tripled. Do private accounts help business, yes, as any investment in the market does, but so too does it help the individual. Unlike the current system, when you die, the money you have remaining is available to go to whomever you like. Again, private accounts are the business of the people.

There are many people at my clinic that rely on SS checks to live. I couldn't imagine living like that. My car notes alone are $1000 and child care is another $550 a month for the three days a week 5 hours a day that my son is there.
It is imperative these days to educate kids the consequences of criminal records, poor credit, and how to present themselves. To live a reasonably comfortable life these days it must take more than $100k/gross a year, and you ain't making that kinda loot at McDonalds.

Yet the average HOUSEHOLD income in the US is about $48k, based on more than one income.

At that level it's hard to save anything. Especially if you happen to have poor health, or God forbid, try to put your kids through college.

It's a ticking time bomb
