What you have just done is make the argument for SS. You have done a great job of preparing for retirement, but most people don't or can't do as well. - koan

No, it's the opposite, koan. What I have just done is explained why the irresponsible people who live large should not expect to get help from the responsible people. How is that fair? I have a large nest egg, because I scrimped and saved all my life. Why is it fair for someone who drove a porsche his whole life by spending everything they earned to live off of me, who drives a Honda so I can save for retirement?

It's not fair to steal from me to give to the irresponsible people. I'm for a safety net. I really am, but I want it limited. I don't want anyone at my income level to get SS. They don't deserve it. If you make the money I do and you don't know how to save for retirement, then you don't deserve one dime of SS. That's the truth.
