Bucco,
Can you honestly tell me that Social Security is not a good thing? Can you honestly tell me you believe that all or most all Americans would have saved a good portion of their monthly paycheck and would have enough money saved to carry them comfortably from retirement until death? Social security is a safety net. Some people live entirely on it in retirement, though.

Social Security also provides for living expenses for widows and children.

What would you propose for those that did not do so? Would you be content to see them penniless and homeless? No, you would not as that would be inhumane and callous.

You should take me on my invite to join RichieLion and a few others at the watering hole for light discussion and ice-cold Yeunglings.
