What kind of logic is that? grandmothers pay into social security, and then they reap the rewards so long as neo-con-men haven't looted the savings for profit. No others pay for their mistakes, that's simply wrong.russ_watters said:Sicne this thread is back from the dead: Shame on your grandmothers for not saving for their retirement (mine did) and shame on you for forcing others to pay for their mistakes.
Great - we pay them back what they put in then: and not a penny more. Better? That way, I get to use the rest of my money to invest for my future. I realize its unreasonable to expect people stop stealing all of my money that they are stealing - how about just reduce how much they are taking?schwarzchildradius said:What kind of logic is that? grandmothers pay into social security, and then they reap the rewards so long as neo-con-men haven't looted the savings for profit.
