Good.

[icenine]

Not good.

Ice, I'm unsure of what you're trying to say.

I really like this one Tom. He reminds me of someone I used to know.

I was simply pointing out the SS is vastly different than it used to be.

For instance, I'll have to pay for mine twice!

Pete

I really wish there was some way to deny government benefits to people like you since you work so hard supporting policies to do away with them.

You should pay double and then get nothing back to make up for the damage you do.

[piece-itpete]

Well, I'm paying double already, and I doubt I'll make it to 65 so it just might work out.

Wait a sec. I've been screwed already and have to work till 67 - that's a good 3% better. Or worse, depending on your POV

Tom, I didn't spend the money.

Some of us got it re FDR vs that other guy.

About that pic;
The Gunny in his later years, something about effing kids and his effing lawn I think.

How do you figure that?

You should have made better life choices.

Isn't that what you baggers always say about poor people?

I retired at 60 and a half.

It got spent on your wars.

The ones you didn't go to.

[piece-itpete]

Double because we paid for the boomers already, and the money's gone.

Screwed by the great and munificent Federal Government, who raised my retirement to 67.

That was a right wing bait and switch shell game.

Your boy Reagan raised the FICA payroll tax on ordinary working schmucks and then cut income taxes for the rich.

Then he engaged us in an arms race with the Rooskies so that he could pump hundreds of billions of dollars into the Military Industrial Complex for Nukes.

This resulted in some of the biggest federal deficits this country has ever seen (that's Republican fiscal responsibility at it's finest), So of course all the excess FICA taxes that the working schmucks were paying got sucked down that rabbit hole.
