I very much hate that I have to pay 12.4% of my income into the biggest Ponzi scheme in the history of the world. And in 2034 I’ll be 57 so f*** me right?
My dad analyzed if he had allocated his SOCIALIST security contributions to an index fund..oh say the SPY index or something like it throughout the course of his working life his returns would have been about 250% higher than he’s getting fromSS. BS. I Don’t like it. Not one little tiny bit.
About that 12.4%...
Am I the only one who missed that questionnaire? Nobody ever asked me my opinion on this one. There wasn’t a ‘vote,’ suggestion box, nothing. Can’t find those people anywhere! Eh but don’t pay and watch what happens - you won’t have to look very far for them.
Those same people have managed to distort everything. There’s a few U.S catch phrases that are miserable oxymorons at best:
-Tax Benefit
-National Curriculum
Ponzis, ill-legalities, insturances, and the list of hoaxes goes on.
Hopefully we don’t have to look forward to them perverting our oxygen with something like - methane, ‘cloud space,’ weather manipulation .........Never mind!
Thanks for giving us something to talk about @Jeff!
12% is really too much for others. Rich people don't care much about it though if they are paying =]
