Gov't funding for the elderly will only 'cause finanacial debt and lazyness
|
|
How long will the elderly suffer if the Gov't won't stop funding because of their lazyness. One points that Pi always equal to 3 and not 3.14 and so on. Second of all, universal healthcare is so expensive, it's draining the money out of Fort Knox and the Deparment of Treasury. Abolishing Social Security should help the government's financial debt and build a better currency exchange. If an elder wants healthcare, he or she should find theirselves a retirement job instead of sitting around in a expensive retirement home, complaining, and being a sloth. This goverment is not a system for American who are lazy, gluttonous sloths. America needs to get off the couch and work for money. America doesn't need social security for the lazy, good nothing, sloths.

Social Security helps more than just the elderly.

Anyone who knows someone disabled, widowed, orphaned or elderly knows Social Security is a successful gov't. program that guarantees a supplemental income the private sector cannot. But isn’t Social Security going broke? No. Actuaries note that the current Fund holds enough to payout full benefits until 2042. Then, without changes, 75% of benefits will be paid out. Social Security cannot go broke because payroll taxes will continue to be collected. True more will retire and live longer than previous generations, but such concerns were addressed in 1983. At that time, Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan compelled Congress to raise payroll taxes to 12.4% to build Trust Fund reserves. To guarantee benefits after 2042, Congress needs only raise the amount of income subject to Social Security tax and raise the payroll tax less than one-quarter of the amount it did in the 80s. Social Security is welfare everyone who pays into and benefits from. It has nothing to do with "laziness."
