<<<<< It is a massive joke to rely upon the government to provide for your future>>>>>

You know there was no money from SS in the Depression. You like the idea of going back to those days? People were dead broke to no fault of their own and they were literally starving. My grandfather was very rich and had his money in 5 different banks that all folded. That can happen to anyone and today its likely not to be a bank failure - but a sudden crushing cost of a medical problem. How do you want those people to survive?
