I've pretty much always known that by the time I'm eligible for SS it won't be there so I have to have other things I can count on...my fuckin' Disney stock better sky rocket.
I don't really care if little old ladies get social security if they were married. They lived in an income-producing household. They SHOULD get any remaining benefits from any man they were married to, at least a cut.
That isn't why the system is non-sustaining. It is in the red because of all the fuckers who are "disabled" who never put into the system. We can't afford that. For every two or three working households in America, we are supporting one household that have never worked and one household who is unemployed/receiving welfare benefits.
I really would stop bitching if I got to keep 80% of what I make. That is a decent sum and I wouldn't resent the 20% given to help defend this country, pay for improvements and upkeep and help someone out a bit. But that isn't the case. If you add up ALL the taxes we pay (income, payroll, gas, purchases, housing, transportation, etc) I am living off less than half what I make. That's bullshit. That's too much.
Fuck fat people or depressed people. Get off your ass and get to work.
