We’re enjoying a surge in traffic to our blog right now, along with an explosion of comments, which is cool. You dudes keep hitting at us because the only way this issue is going to take off is if there’s a fight about it. But since not everyone may have time to read through the comments on the blog, I thought I’d excerpt a few snippets of what has been posted lately.
Reading through them, it occurs to me that maybe this helps explain why all the cool kids oppose privatization.
–
“If your people at RTV really cared about people you would be working to end S.S. as we know it.”
“It’s ashame “all” of the “cool” kids oppose the privatization of social security. I would love to be able to control the money I earn and not have the government spend it on whatever they want.”
“The proper Title for this post would be “all the lazy, irresponsible kids oppose privatization.” Then it could go on to describe how if you’re lazy and irresponsible, you would naturally oppose anyone else being able to control their future and have a comfortable retirement because it would just thrust your laziness and irresponsibility into the spotlight.”
“Urge your representatives to get rid of social security completely so you can receive your entire paycheck.”
“I don’t know about you guys, but “all the cool kids” in my school were not really the people I would rely on for financial advice, maybe where to get wasted on the weekend and pick-up chicks.”
“you are an absolute moron! we all klnow that the SS is a bust! to fix it, lets NOT pay into it at all! i would love to keep my money for me. why do i have to pay for some one elses problem of being to damn lazy to get up and work to get paid! i work hard for MY money and i dont wnat to give it away to some one that did not work for it.”
“By they way, people who oppose individual choice are socialists.”

Cry me a river anonymous. This is the most charitable country in the world. You probably don’t give anything to charity, but that is not how a liberal gages charity. Your definition of charity is measured by how many people I can force to pay into a socialist scheme that is supposed to care for the poor. Then you feel all nice and warm inside.
My definition of charity is providing someone with real means to an end. That’s right, don’t ensure poverty upon someone like the current SS system does. Show them how there money can work for them. Allow them to own a private account that is an actual asset. This may be the only asset the poorest among us may own. They can then watch how an invest works. They can watch there interest compound and grow. If the unfortunate person passes, they can leave there asset to a surviving spouse or child. This child will see this asset and understand that investing or proper money management is important. Then who knows, maybe we will have a more educated and informed society generations to come. To me, that is compassion. Active participation and learning. The current system already proves that no one learns anything except how to raise taxes.
Your compassion is misguided my friend.
I believe your compassion is misguided.
Do you honestly believe that privatizing social security will make us all educated and rich? That is giving this plan a little too much credit. Some people will benefit from privatization but many, maybe even you, will not.
Your passion for this issue seems to stem from what you alone could potentially gain. I see that as selfish.
As I said earlier and a point you seem to have missed, I’m not cheerleading for social security the way it is now. It is messed up, but privatization will not be the blessing to save us all. Bush knows this too. That is why he is selling this plan to town hall meetings with preselected audience members who already agree with him.
And labeling someone a liberal, which believe it or not isn’t an insult, does not make my oppion matter less than yours.
This has nothing to do what I alone will gain. Believe me, I’m 28 and well on my way to not have to rely on any SS program, private or not. I’m more concerned with what will be there for my daughter. Explain to me who will not benefit from private accounts and why? And don’t give me this crap about the stock market being to volatile. Even your liberal leader Bill Maher doesn’t believe that. Anyone making that arguement really shows their lack of understanding of the stockmarket and is trying to scare people.
I can think of many ways people get screwed in the current system. For one, if your a black male, your life expectancy is shorter than when SS starts paying benefits, but I guess your compassion doesn’t cover them. Who gets screwed next when the age is raised by politicians?
Next, how about the return you get. I don’t think anyone is trying to get rich off of SS, but to get a 70% return on what I put in or at best 100%, that is ridiculous. Even the AARP agrees that SS funds should be invested in the stock market as a solution to the problem, but they believe only the gov’t should do the investing and not you should have no say in the matter.
Anyway, why are you even arguing the matter? The proposal is going to be voluntary. You can stay in the existing system and I can take a so called risk and go the privatization route. Liberals are usually for choices.
RTV is obsolete, as is every other “Youth Vote Campaign”. Get it through your thick heads….the 2000 and 2004 “elections” were RIGGED. Two weeks before Election Night (2004 “election”), I told my parents that Bush WOULD WIN. And win he did. They were so disappointed, but I ended up telling them, “I TOLD you so”. The “elections” are shams, and RTV, Lead Or Leave, and every other youth voter group would do well to simply shut down their sites and disband their organizations. The Globalist, cashless society control grid IS HERE. “Elections” are bread and circus CONTROL MECHANISMS. “Democracy” is GONE, if it ever existed to begin with.
You may as well shut down the blog. The party’s over. Besides, the Democrats are simply the flip side of the same coin. They’re really no different from teh Republicans. They are both largely comprised of wealthy elites who take money from political action committees such as AIPAC (American-Israeli Political Action Committee) and the Big Oil PAC’s. Both parties are full of total sell-outs.
And please don’t feed us this “voter apathy” nonsense. Ex-voters are not apathetic. They’re AWARE and AWAKE to what it happening, and they’re not going to be suckered into participating in another sham “election”, sponsored by Diebold, Inc.’s electronic voting machines, which don’t leave verifiable paper trails and which can be easily hacked and altered by skilled computer programmers.
Give it up, RTV. Go “rock” something else.
