NEVER have I argued against Social Security!!!! Again, you are intentionally twisting my words and taking what I say out of context. You said you’d ignore me, so please “ignore” me and stop trying to mischaracterize me and my ideas.
I’m suggesting that if sdr is against retirement plans that are backed by the govt, he should start “saving taxpayers’ money” himself. The SS fund is worse shape than most public pension plans. Public sector workers will end up having to pay to “prop up” SS as well, even though they do not receive SS benefits. Do you see them whining about it and posting vicious things about SS recipients on a daily basis?
Again, it’s the hypocrisy that bothers me the most. And if he cares so much about people overpaying for things (either from the “private” or “public” market…the type of hat worn by the providers of goods/services doesn’t matter), then he should start by fighting the NAR and other lobbyists who spend fortunes in D.C. to enact laws and restrictions and force taxpayers and consumers to pay for programs (like govt-backed mortgages, various bailouts, foreclosure moratoriums, etc.) that benefit them.
Look in the mirror to make sure YOU are not part of the problem, first. I’ve known plenty of people who were ardent opponents of public unions and public employees…but were working for government contractors or married to govt employees and using those benefits. Make sure YOU are clean before you go around casting stones.
