Unfortunately Hour Of Darkness I can tell personally that you are not poor. I don't think you are living paycheck to paycheck every month of your life, like many of the Americans in the US are. Unfortunately there are people not responsible enough to save their own money for their own retirement. So then HoD, what do we do with these people, do we let them rot in the street. Just so you know these are going to be the people coming to you asking for help. Yeah they're dumb, they didn't do the smart thing, or maybe they can't afford to save, so i guess they deserve to starve to death, right?
Better yet how about the mexican guy working his ass off everyday just to make enough to feed his family and clothe his children. Do you think 7% of his 6.75 an hour is going to help him for his retirement. I think you forget how much money you make compared to 1 in every 10 americans.
I'm sure you are well enough off with a good education, a good job that pays well enough for you to get by on, and you are probably responsible enough to set up for your retirement. There are millions of other people in debt, you think 7% is going to pull them out? They can't afford to save 7% you fucking idiot, they spend that money on survival, for their family, for their necessities.
Yet somehow you sit there and complain about Social Security, Welfare, basically taxes in general, so you can be a greedy ass and make more money. HoD your like every other conservative i've ever met, perfectly willing to sell out his own security and everyone else's for his own personal gain,(your 7 fucking percent) thinking nothing is ever going to go wrong for you, or there isn't going to be that bump in the road.
You are the reason there are poor people. Never wanting to give up the money you earned, within this system that gave you the opportunity to earn it. You feel you worked hard for it, and everyone else who's poor isn't working hard enough. I wonder if you get this misconception that the poor are poor because they are lazy. True it may be some, but it's more of someone's dad getting shot, single mother left to raise 6 children. It's the guy in the car accident who can't walk anymore, is laid off by his company, and is living off disabillity. Maybe if the rich bastards in society, with millions of dollars flowing from their pockets, were willing to help these people out, then there wouldn't be so many poor people who aren't "responsible" enough to save for retirement.
Pull your head out of your ass dickhead, FDR made social security for a reason. So that if anyone hits a bump in the road, they know they have something to rely on. So even greedy pricks like you will have a retirement.
