My view
Thru the years I've heard alot of different views.
I agree, why should someone making 6 mil a year pay the same as someone making 60 g?
One thing I would like to know, Why isn't SS set aside in a seperate fund, instead of being used by the goverment to make ends meet?
At one time there was talk of a flat 10% sales tax, that would cover taxes and SS. No exemptions, 100% participation. good fix or pipe dream?
If we allow people a certain percentage to invest for thier retirement, what of those who go bust? It'll only end up costing more in the long run because we all know the goverment will bail them out.
part 2 of that arguement, we will only allow them to invest in certain areas. Who chooses them areas? won't this open the gates for unscrupulous companies and politicians...(like there is such a thing lol) how much will a spot on that list cost?
Personally, I think we are treating the symptom, not the disease. Cut the cost, make goverment responsible, get rid of pork barrel..decrease the buracracy (spelling sucks) Kill the virus and the disease will take care of itself
Thanx
