You see that last sentence clearly discloses your worries. Face it you're not well enough off or secure enough economically not to be facing the likelihood that you will in the end become quite dependent on government managed programs that are very rich in socialist ideology but will do quite nicely indeed when it comes to your ability to deal effectively with the ravages of ageing. If it wasn't then why do they called it SOCIAL Security? "Social Insurance" LMAO For people like you and OMJ "social insurance" is a social program designed to provide for you welfare but the ones that don't are pure evil. Why? Because with them it's socialism. You're not fooling anybody . You're scared to death that the social programs YOU will be counting on are not going to be there. Demonizing the ones you won't qualify for will do nothing to secure the continued availability of the ones you know you'll be dependent on.You were an entirely different party when Social Security was created. And for the millionth time, it's social insurance. You benefit greatly from capitalism but want full blown socialism. For some odd reason you believe life will be great when we all have equal outcomes and a government that insures that. Has never worked. Look at bbsam. He's hot for socialism but he won't set an example by paying his employees the same as him. I could go the same route as you and say you, he, and the rest are a bunch of hypocrites. The fact is we're all struggling to get by but it's better than having nothing at all with no real incentives to achieve and do better for ourselves. This utopian fantasy of your's is dangerously close to being implemented because our future leaders are being indoctrinated. And when it goes to hell what then?
