The only good communist is a dead communist. This goes for socialists too! *********** Careful. Without communists, you wouldn't have the earliest decades of the Christian church. Without the earliest decades, what would you have today? Without socialists, you wouldn't have the Pledge of Allegiance. (pledge was written by a socialist) Now what would you righties do all day if you couldn't yak on about the US being a "Christian nation" or repeat the Pledge of Allegiance like a rosary? Without socialism, you wouldn't have social security. Nobody drawing a government SS benefit has the moral right to complain about socialism, unless they send their monthly socialist proceeds back to the treasury. I have a mental image of you as well up into your senior years. If I'm correct, have you sent your socialist proceeds back yet? |

Accepting the guvmint check returning the money that has essentially been stolen from you every year of your working life....more or less at gun point.......does NOT negate the complaint against socialism.......AND 'proceeds'...........a 2% return on the stolen money....and chuck wants to call it proceeds? He is really giving the current "king" a run for his money. *************** Today's standard: "Socialism is OK when it directly benefits me. I will justify my suck on the government teat by pointing out that I was forced, through taxation, to contribute to the government during my working years and that because I am special I now deserve to get my money back. Socialism in not OK when it benefits somebody else. The only good Socialist is a dead socialist, but hands off the socialist who signs the monthly check for my little piece of the socialist security system, please." |

Sure it does. Accepting a Social Security benefits check... which is socialism... while complaining about socialism, especially saying that socialists ought to be killed... is just outright hypocrisy. Hey Bert Robo-tard, if you want to kill a Socialist maybe you should start with P.Fritz? ... AND 'proceeds'...........a 2% return on the stolen money....and chuck wants to call it proceeds? You're right, it's not "proceeds", it's money taken from those that are currently working. You are confusing Social Security with an investment plan. wrote: Today's standard: "Socialism is OK when it directly benefits me.

I'd happily forgo my Social Security check later in life as long as I am exempt from paying FICA today. |

If Bush & Cheney were seriously interested in reforming or fixing Social Security (instead of their plan being a subterfuge to harvest campaign contributions from Wall St), they'd offer that option. However, you're forgetting the other half of the equation. The SS Trust is the biggest under writer of the U.S. deficit, which Bush/Cheney have increased enormously. By bowing out of the SS plan, you'd be effectively voting with your dollars. DSK |

In the mean time, I consider it getting stolen money back, not accepting socialism, nor is it hypocrisy. I could retire years ahead, or pass money on to others, if it were not being stolen from me. |

I'd happily forgo my Social Security check later in life as long as I am exempt from paying FICA today. Remember that SS is for more than retirement. Should you get hit by a truck tomorrow, and are unable to work, you get to collect. If the truck kills you, your wife and kids (assuming you have any) also collect. |

DSK I would have been much happier putting my FICA into a plan of my choice. The government picked the plan I had to use. The fact that I get back money that I put in sure doesn't make me a socialist. But, if your idea of socialism is accepting a social security check, what do you call liberals who do so? Extremist Socialists? Wow! John H "All decisions are the result of binary thinking." |
