What is?

I just wanna point out that anybody can achieve better gains over time personally investing the 15% social security takes over what the govt pays back...plus every other type of retirement can be left to your heirs when you pass...potentially creating generational wealth...social security doesn't do that...

You need to go back to when ss was originally founded. Because the was a generation who were going to live longer and lacked the savings to fund their futures, ss was set up as a intergenerational wealth transfer program. The is no fund or "lock box" with money sitting in it. Whatever we pay into ss goes right back out recipients. If their funds left over, then the federal gov't uses those funds in the general budget.

To opt out of SS would require that a generation of Americans get cut off. Try selling that to the public....

Not to mention that people would be required to do the investing instead of just spending that 15% of their income only to have nothing later in life.

You're a garden variety Republitard. You talk loud but don't know anything. Because of that, you regurgitate a lot of false info that "feels" right to you, but is patently incorrect.
You sit around reading memes and thinking they are great snippets of info that you can use to say "I'm smart", but don't have a clue that they are wrong. It would not be a surprise if you bought "I did that" stickers and drove around putting them on gas pumps, while griping about the cost of gas.

You gladhand people like Thxone who will fight tot he death to defend a false belief, even if that false belief is being supported demonstrably with flat-out lies.

Yet, you think you have things all figured out and that you are intellectually superior.
ironic.

Thanks for making my point for me. You spew the kool-aid you are drinking and act as it is fact. No lib has the mental capacity to be educated. They already think they know everything and in reality don't no shit from shinola.

You think Gray's Anatomy is "the kool-aid", huh?
I suppose the PDR, DSM, and other medical references must be "liberal propaganda"?

It is rather ironic that you post a meme poking fun at people's inability to spell "your" and "you're" properly, but you type this gem: "...and in reality don't no shit from..."


Once again, you talk with memes, but on the rare occasion you use your own words, you get it wrong.
At least the memes can be blamed on someone else's stupidity. When it comes from your own head instead, you are the sole recipient of the moron award.
Good job.

Keep trying, kid. You’ve spent HOW many posts defending your incorrect BELIEF that there are no nerves or pain receptors in bone?

You’re doing everything you can to not admit you’re wrong about things you should know from High School. And when you get irrefutably proved wrong, you double down and start complaining that people don’t have to open up their encyclopedia Brittanica or get in their car and drive to a physical library to research info.

I never claimed to be an expert in/on anything. That was YOU, when you claimed your biology degree made you just as much an expert as anyone else.
An “expert” in biology who fights tooth and nail to defend his belief that there are no nerves ir pain receptors in bones.

Wow.

Cool story.

Ahhh, the feigned indifference tact. “Prove me wrong”.
“OK, here’s proof”
“Yeah? Well, no one cares anyway because you’re a liberal idiot. Go eat a diik”

You’re pathetic. 48 years old, with the intellect of a child.

Cool story.

Not really. Nothing cool about being 48 and clueless.

More memes. Maybe you should take advantage of the literally millions of books you can download for free.
Try learning something.

Rob doesn't understand that there are things you don't get from book learning. He does after all have a relaxed brain.
