Would you then advocate the complete removal of such pension style systems (Including SS)?
Lets stop paying for it and kill the program where it stands right now. As of 5/25/05, no such thing as social security.
Of course that's not going to happen since especially the baby boom generaton seem to be weaned on the idea that they "deserve" it and have saved absolutly nothing as a result.
I'm all for saying that saving is ones own responsability.
The problem is simple. Everyone is convinced that they are eligable but those "Rich" people aren't. Well there's a major flaw right there. If you earn over 30,000 you are rich. Not extrodionarily rich, but rich in the sense of middle class, which is rich.
I'm all for cutting benifits to everyone except those that fall below poverty level as defined by the UN. Make it say 1.5% fica to cover the costs, and tell everyone else to learn how to save instead of taking a vacation every year or buying a new car instead of a used one.
Until you cut the middle class out of SS, you will continue to see these squibles as to who deserves what benifits.
