our government is broken and it can not be fixed

Sorry KOAJ, but even the most diehard extreme right wingers i know who hate govt, dont even remotely have the same thoughts as you.

You have got to be a product of some whacked out internet blogs, because your ideas are not what a civilized society like ours is about.

I dont understand, since you have no kids and you hate it here so bad, why havent you packed up and moved out of the country to one where you wont have to deal with or pay for the things you hate so much? You must realize America, does indeed benefit you or else you would be gone. If you havent realized by now, that in order for us to have the type of country we have, it takes money to run and that money isnt just gonna come out of the sky, the people living in the country have to for that.

You need to forgot about how it was in 1776 with a population of 13 million. Our 300 million people dont want to live like that.

Also you still havent addressed why are you paying for medical insurance, when you arent forced to take it?  And please dont use the tax benefit line, because that only helps you so much. You would do alot better just not paying for health insurance, so why are you sending that money in?  You complain about it, but you arent doing anything about it.

Far as pensions go, you will never get it and understand it, until the day you get a job that gives you one. Its a benefit of the job. Instead of the employer paying the employee 20 bucks an hour, he pays them 15 bucks an hour and gives them the pension benefit instead.

And like Wallstreet , said, pension systems have just been underfunded and they also got to stop letting workers pad their pensions. Fix those 2 things and pensions would be just fine.

Everything isnt a ponzi scheme, thats just the talking heads telling you that bullshit

Be, your post is pure bullshit and totally not true. you keep blaming the baby boomers, but the fact is, they didnt destroy the fund. The politicians are the ones who destroyed it, by constantly pulling money out of it, to use on other shit. If they didnt touch it, that fund would have lasted another 100 years easily, without changing one thing to it.

Also wouldnt your parents be baby boomers? Dont you have any friends or other relatives who collect SS?  Do you bitch at them about it?

One other thing, you still never addressed my health insurance question. Whya re you paying 6k a year for it, if you dont need it? Your not being forced to take it and dont use the tax thing, because you would make out alot better keeping your 6k in insurance payments and filing your taxes with 6k more income. There is no huge benefit, in using health insurance as a dedcution on your taxes.

They might be partly to blame, but they werent the ones controlling the fund. On top of that, if politicians didnt steal money from the fund and use it for other things, the fund would last well over a 100 more years. So if the fund could last that long, how can you blame the boomers, if the money would have been there. On top of that,the boomers during their working years, had many millions of people with good jobs paying into the system.

I really dont blame the boomers for this mess, the politicians get this one on their backs.
