No need for my health to compete with corporate profits that way.

Re: Pathetic
Biden: Obama a “Strong and Decisive Great Man” Killing Bin Laden Means “People Will No Longer Confuse Him With Being a Coward” The killing of Osama bin Laden and Paul Ryan’s budget plan have voters taking “a second look” at President Barack Obama heading into 2012, Vice President Joe Biden said Wednesday night in New Hampshire.
“The American people now … have a crystal clear picture of how strong and decisive this president is. And that’s the last piece of the puzzle that had to be put in place for this great man,” Biden said at a party fundraising event in Nashua. “The American people will no longer confuse being contemplative with being a coward.”

Re: Pathetic
35 years is a heartbeat in historical terms. It is not a sustainable program. To the extent that it has a "surplus" that is the case because it is simply taking from the young and giving to the old. It is not a system whereby you "invest" in it while your young then get the benefit of what you "invested" when you're older. And the ratio of old to young continues to get larger and larger. It is, in the long term, a boondoggle.The problem with social security is...wait, isn't social security running a surplus and solvent without any adjustments for another 35 years?
Government should not be involved in trying to guarantee the well-being of individuals.

Re: Pathetic
[quote]We're all parasites to varying degrees Johnny, including you.[quote]
I don't think that I am a parasite right now. I'm pretty sure I pay more than the average in taxes and that puts me in a relatively small minority because the tax burden distribution is extremely skewed so that a substantial majority of the population pay proportionally very little.
Perhaps I will become one when I am older because I believe in dealing with things as they are. If Social Security and Medicare are available when I become eligible I will take advantage of them. But the difference between me and others is that I would fully support eliminating both social security and medicare even though I have paid into those systems to support those older than me for many years. In fact I would support ending them during the year(s) that I become eligible for them because at some point SOME generation is going to have to be willing to do that.
