Because it's much easier for you to toss out yet another dumb ass question and run, than to point by point make your case why "essentially" SS is a Ponzi scheme. You're like the drunken a fan who runs onto the field waving his arms before being tackled by security. You want to get on the field? Make the team.<br /><br />Why isn't a friggin' IRA or 401K "essentially" a Ponzi scheme? Because there are rules and yes, those awful regulations. There is transparency and oversight. Is it perfect, no. But it's considerably better than dealing with and caring for people later who go bust in the market or lose their health and lose everything. At the very worst, every nickel that Social Security pays out, goes back INTO our economy. And better yet, you have to work to get it.<br /><br />Here Beavis, let me hand you a talking point: Social Security is mandatory.

Now that my party affiliation has changed to "Republican", Perry is the type of looney I'll vote for in the primary. Dems should funnel primary campaign donations to Perry; it will help Obama in the general election.PJJinOregonnoreply@blogger.com
