By the same token, look at Wall St. over any 20+ year period (given that the average working life is 40 years or so), and you'll see for any 20 year period the stock market gives a greater investment return that social security does.


So, over any period, someone who takes the money they would have contributed to Social Security (plus their employer contributions) would have made more than they would get from their Social Security.

"I have to say b/c I have seen it happen.. those who scream loudest against the gov't helping the less fortunate are OFTEN the same ones who scream loudest when they fall on hard times & need help. I see a massive hypocrisy there. You don't want to help people with your tax dollars? fine. But don't you dare tell me my family is Undeserving of help from the gov't simply b/c we qualify for EIC or any other funds for that matter."

Our insurance pays almost every claim well within the 30 days, usually within a couple weeks. We almost never get a bill from doctors or hospitals but we get every explanation of benefits. I know how well my insurance works and we have far more claims than you can imagine. If a claim isn't paid correctly, which doesn't happen often, I call and they review and it gets paid. We've had this out of state insurance for about 3 years.

Over the past 24 years anytime I've ever had a dispute with an insurance company I've won. We've had many different insurance companies and never been turned away for pre-existing conditions (believe me being able to deny us would be like winning the lottery for the insurance company). HMOs cannot exclude anyone because of pre-existing conditions.

I agree jobs, with the exceptions that you noted, are really only worth what the market is willing to pay.

She has stated her household income is close to $100,000 which means she will be paying up to $300.00 more under McCain's plan which doesn't sound like much but also will be sacrificing some public expenitures (depending on which ones will get the freeze) and she will be adding to her children's debt since the wealthy's cuts will be put on credit.
