Could you please trim parker? You did years ago. Now you're just a lazy slacker.
Spent. First on the vietnam war. Sure you can try the call the IOU an 'investment' but it has to paid back with TAXES so it's not really an investment. It's a future tax increase.
Lower taxes all around would be great. But income taxes don't masquerade as a retirement fund. Either call FICA an income tax or make it an actual retirement fund with a vested property interest.
And your something is increase taxes and-or reduce benefits further. I think it's a pretty safe bet it will cost me more in taxes than any additional amount I'll get back out over the 'do nothing'.
Money that would have to be borrowed? Oh I see... the money you think won't be there because now it can't be redistributed up the pyramid because it has someone's name on it. But without my name on it, I'm the one that gets screwed later. The one left holding the empty bag, the one who's paid the most in at the highest rates. That's the beauty of the date I was born, I reach retirement age when the poo really hits the fan on SS. Meaning I pay the most in for the least out. How about just do what you recommend, raise the retirement age and cut benefits, cept do it sooner so it effects YOU too.
Because that's what your view boils down to, you getting yours. You don't want to consider that. You'd rather raise taxes and take money from people my age, then leave us holding the empty bag when our turn comes around. That's why I just want out of this thievery.
This is why people voting themselves money is bad for the republic. It pits one group of americans against another. I want to protect my retirement funds as much as you want to protect yours. The only way mine are protected is if you can't lay your hands on them simply because you were born first. The way you get yours is by taking first and not worrying about anyone down the line.
Which is why congress may change or disband it at any time. So now to protect getting a check in the future, you have to keep electing representives who support that program. Nice bit of job security there.
Wages aren't based on profits. Does your wage go up when there is a larger freshman clbutt Dr. Parker? Or is your wage based what the job market will bear for professors in your area of study with your level of achievement? If your pay was cut in half tomorrow, but the pay for chemistry professors at another college nearby was at the same level you make now and they had an opening, would you apply for it, or just take what the gave you?
The beauty of the CEO posistion is that he is compensated based on results for the company. I wish my pay as an engineer had been like that a couple years ago. I would be rather rich. I saved the corporation millions of dollars. Now true there is cheating and such were CEOs still get megabucks when the company fails. That's wrong on the face of it. But I don't to vote in companies I don't own stock in. I do get to vote for elected officals.

I'm not endorsing anything here, just explaining to you how it works at present.
Nice dodge attempt Dr. Parker, but that's not what is on the table right now. What's on the table is taking power away from government for a small portion of what is currently our SS tax. I'd gladly keep the government from using my taxes for Iraq too, if I could. But nobody is offering me that. I am being offered a way to retain some of the funds currently taken in FICA tax.
But think of it this way, it all goes into the same pot, so just consider the SS money that actually has your name on it in any new plan, money that can't be used in Iraq. Money that won't buy a treasury bond that will then be used to build a electrical substation in iraq or a plant used there.
