Oh, please let this happen

[Moose-Knuckle]

She's done; stick a fork in her.

I know it, you know it, and the American people know it but she is a malignant narcissist who has no concept of reality.

This chick might be the most dangerous person in America right now and she's getting a free pass on her BS.

Go to the 7:20 mark and listen to what she is for, in summary major Socialism.

She is only as dangerous as she is allowed to be.

The ideology of those who voted for her and the overwhelming support of her by the Fourth Estate is the real danger.

Is the military duty bound to defend the country if it is taken over by Communists and Socialists inside the government? I've often wondered this but they allowed Obama to run the country along with his entourage of socialist Marxists- so not sure anymore.

Didn't stop anyone in the 1930s and that is probably the MOST socialist this government has ever been. The only good thing about Germany's example with national socialism is that it forced the US and the UK to question the socialism that we were engaged in and caused a course correction.

Had we not come face to face with a real world example of what happens when a modern, industrial country places the state and or leader / party above the individual or even the population as a whole we'd have probably gone down a very dark road.

We had fully embraced eugenics (the Germans actually borrowed the idea from the US / UK examples) and if a court declared you indigent you could be forcibly sterilized. FDRs "new deal" socialism established the groundwork for LBJs later welfare state. FDR also gave us a non voluntary ponzi scheme called social security and people are actually dumb enough to think it's some kind of government stipend and don't realize it's only a partial refund of all the money they have taken from you during your entire working life.

If everyone could actually drop their social security deduction into a basic IRA they would all do a lot better. But the government doesn't give you that option and they take your money, invest it for decades earning interest for them and if you happen to live past 65 they will start to give you some of your money back but most people don't even receive the interest potential let alone any of the original principal funds.

“Everyone” and “all” is quite a stretch when it come to people doing a “lot better.”

Even once all the various oxygen thieves and various shitstains are taken out of the equation, we have a lot of life long workers who will never pay as much into the system as they get out of it. There is a good chance all but the absolute most afffluent could cover their medical costs in the payments as well.

So how would that happen? Under the current system, in 2018, the total deduction is 12.4% for SSI and 2.9 for Medicare, divided equally between employer and employee, unless self employed.

Would the worker get the entire percentage to invest as they see fit? Or, would the employer not be required to pay in?

I believe one of the problems discussed regarding this plan would be that lower-paid workers would be extremely conservative in their investments and not have enough to sustain them in retirement.

If that is the case, our society being what it is, there would still need to be a safety net.

None of it matters, they've borrowed so heavily against it that social security will default within the next couple decades.
