    So vote on lifting the income cap.

    Then take everyone who voted "no" out back and put them down like the rabid dogs they are and then vote again.

    I feel the preceding was actually a little unfair. Dogs don't choose to be rabid, people do choose to be worthless, greedy fuckwastrels.

    As someone who benefits from the cap... lift the cap. It's stupid and only detracts.

    Title is a straight up lie. SS payouts are statutorily set. If the fund runs dry it will automatically be paid out of the general fund.

    They've been manufacturing consent for decades

    Despite countless innovations and inventions, we just cannot afford to live in the world we were born into. I guess capital is whats important in a capitalist way of life, not us.

    Who knew that you couldn’t keep stealing from Americans without them ever finding out.

    I can’t wait until this hits. I’ve fully accepted that I ain’t getting shit out of Social Security, but there are a shitload of boomers and other retirement aged people who are not going to understand this (or will refuse to understand it) until it punches them right in the taint (and the wallet)

    The whole thing goes away as soon as you have rich people pay their share. It's not a complicated issue at all.

  • It’s not.

    And yet look at CA prop 40. That was the most “you have to be genuinely incompetent, or a billionaire, to vote no on that”. And it failed. Because humans are fucking stupid and emotional and impulsive and easily manipulated and susceptible to propaganda.

    I wish people would think more.

    I think people would love to retire at 42. You might just be a prick though.

    I've found most people who retire young tend to be for some weird reason. Instead of just being chill and relaxed like you would be expecting from someone with no need to stress at a shit job.

    Could just be a case of any time you meet someone who is retired young. You wouldn't know it unless they told you. And only the assholes are the ones who tell you.

    How does it work that the country with the most billionaires and the first trillionaire (at least he was for a while), can't afford to take care of it's senior citizens?
