He hates the "rich" because thats how he has been programmed. He's not alone. Its worse than MK-Ultra, what brainwashing takes place in the halls of the so- called institutions of higher learning in this country. I think upon any failure of this system, it should be shared proportionally based upon the amount one has paid in. As for blame, don't look to rich man, poor man. Recognize the politician as the true destroyer of your investment. Your elected officials. Yes, its an investment. Most people over 50 have paid in over $200K into what is supposed to be a retirement plan. Do you know what that amount would be invested over a lifetime based on little more than a 4% return???? We have been had by politico's giving our retirement fund money away to any and every cause du jour. We should be torch and pitchfork pissed at them, not at each other.

What are you talking about? Day to day or complete collapse? I said that the rich should be provided benefits accordingly. But SS does not allow them to pay or receive proportionate shares in the first place. Bill Gates doesn't really need several hundred dollars a month from SS. So if a complete collapse I think the poor should be first in line. But for standard day to day what they pay in they should get out. I totally agree with eliminating illegal aliens and others not paying in. But that should be done now, not after it collapses.
