I remember when I was a kid. my dad is a Republican, WW2 combat vet, worked the same job for decades----> and he talked like you : always bad-farking mouthing the system; always saying how that when he got to retirement age social security wouldnt exist... blah. blah, blah.

He's 90 now. I went to visit him in the hospital 3 weeks ago when it looked like he was going to die from double pneumonia. Ask him now what he things of Social Security and Medicare.

Ann Rand berated the system too.... the depended on it.

You would be amazed at how many people I know who are well into their 80's and still working full time jobs. Of course the young folks say "give it up already - PLEASE QUIT, WE NEED JOBS!"

These gals work for some of the wealthiest people in our county. They are personal secretaries and have the absolute trust of their employers. They drive brand new cars that are washed and gased for every week. I think they are 87, 88, & 89.

The wealthiest guy I personally know is in his late 70's. I have no clue what his net worth is - dont care, dont ask... but he often drops lines like telling me recently he gave his daughter 5 million dollars composed of various assets.

Elroy - you're stoopid.

Hasn't a lot of the USA social security taxes that have been raised been borrowed for other purposes?
