A RECORD 7 Million plus Americans 3 months late on car payments.

So then farmers, they shouldn’t be allowed to vote?
Or oil executives, or defense contractors. Right?

 

No, that is an IRA.

 

But it's invested in the safest investment in the world

 

Anyone on the dole.

 

Social security isn't an investment by any definition of the word. To invest is to put money to use, by purchase or expenditure, in something offering potential profitable returns, as interest, income, or appreciation in value. Social security is a government tax funded program not an investment.

 

No no no.
There's a fund. It's filled with the safest investments in the world

 

That is only part of social security and it is depleting. Social security itself is not an investment. Its just current taxpayers paying old people to not work.

 

Social Security investment is in U.S.Treasuries.

 

Guess who pays the interest on treasury interest. Taxpayers. Not really much an investment for taxpayers.

 

And when students default on their loans it goes directly to the national debt.

 

Oh, so somebody just wants to put more tax on the backs if others. I get it

 

Old people who paid into it for their entire working lives and receive back relative to what they paid in.The closer you pay in to the ceiling while working the more you receive back each month.S.S. also pays those who have become disabled and in the case of those who die prematurely like former GOP Speaker Paul Ryan's father did,he collected while he was still in high school, until he reached his 18th birthday.

 

You plan on uncapping the benefit ceiling when you uncap the taxable wage ceiling?

 

Yes, increase taxes of people who can easily afford and are doing very well in this economy, in order to keep the program solvent.

 

NO I DON'T the payment schedule should stay as is!!

 

Yes, let them produce the wealth that you benefit from, then take as much away from them as they can afford, then they can live just a little bit better than you yet still produce you goods, services and employment so you can have a nice life

 

As a rule the wealthy NEVER produce the wealth their employees actually produce it,they just profit off their employees labor.

 

Yeah, they all got together, built the factory, bought the tooling, marketed the products, sold the products, and produced the products themselves, all after taking up a little collection one night at the Eagles Club.

Get real. If you were capable of any of this, you'd have built your own business already, with your own time, resources, energy and risk

Crawling your ass out of bed to put in your 9 to 5 every day is the minimum effort for success

 

1) Fiscal responsibility is not learned by 'knowing' financial management. It's the result of effort of will and self-discipline, not 'knowledge'. And the only way that that stuff can be automatic is when it's modeled in the home, consistently, throughout the child's life. If you've reached your teenage years with no capacity for self-discipline, you're doomed no matter what you're taught outside of the home. IOW, being a good budgeter is not the result of knowledge, it's the result of will power.

2) Students already know about 'different careers'. They're bombarded with careers information in high school. But as per the above, the considered choice of a career which will provide financial security, is not the result of knowing about it, it's the result of will power and self-discipline. Those things that can only be learned in the home.

 

Don't forget: wear all the risk, take all the responsibility for staff, pay all insurances, and give up 16 hours a day 7 days per week of their waking hours either working or thinking about work, and the remainder of their hours trying to sleep as the multiple stresses of absolute responsibility prey on their minds.

 

Because it's useless in the absence of the will to use it. And that will MUST come from the home. And let's not pretend (again) that even a child doesn't know that 2 + 2 = 4.

 

But they're the compassionate ones!

 

Social security is a luxury. That's why only rich nations have it.

 

I notice you said tax return, not tax liability. Do you understand the difference?

 

Thank God we have it with over 100,000 U.S.PRIVATE PENSION PLANS cancelled and defunded during the decade from 1980 to 1990,those inglorious Reagan years.
