Social Insecurity
47 million people received over $410 billion from social security in 2003. 1 The Economic Policy Institute likes to say that we have 38 to 40+ years of prosperity with Social Security if it is left how it is. Someone must have forgot about the Baby Boomers. Someone must have not taken into account inflation. I received a letter from the social security administration telling me how much I will benefit from Social Security. Now Seeing how I am turning 30 in 2008, and will not likely see retirement for another 30 to 40 years, even the best case mythical scenario we are given today will not give me anything when I reach the age of retirement.
In order to pass social Security Roosevelt passed a bill to essentially force the sitting supreme court justices out of office so he could appoint new supreme court justices that would allow an unconstitutional law to be passed.
So right out of the gate this new system was not embraces and not thought of as a good thing by all. With the Supreme Court out of the way Roosevelt was able to begin his socialist concepts of the New Deal. Larry Ferstenou points out some myths of Social Security here Showing us a little bit of just how inefficient the whole system is. There is more to be gained from planning for your own future and investing the money that is forcibly taken from your paycheck each week. If those funds were to be invested in other plans that are available then your future and retirement would be a much wealthier one. You can see some comparisons between Social Security and Private Pensions here. The word Security is almost a lie when used to describe this federal program.
Here is the big myth, the big ass kicker, and where the wool is being pulled over your eyes. You do not have to apply for, pay or have Social Security. That’s right. You do not have to. The kicker is. Once you have applied for a Social Security card you then must pay. So If you oppose it you do not have to go apply for a Social Security card. Well let’s look at that. If you do not have a Social Security number what things would you have a problem with in the current American Federal Imposition? Try getting jobs, getting a drivers license, and many more the list is almost infinite. Most people did not apply for it their parents have signed them up for it before they even had a say in it. Does that seem right to you?
This Federal program was designed for retirement and has become a way to inventory the American population in databases everywhere. Your credit, Social Security number, bank account, Birth Certificates you are a number in a database to be inventoried every ten years. This was supposed to be a retirement fund, why is it that it has gone this out of hand.
I have one resolution at this point. In the light of so many Baby Boomers now depending on that money and many future generations also looking towards this, we need to end it and allow for a responsible individual citizen to make his own future. This is a free country not a country whose citizens should be dependent on the Federal Government for their needs. This is not far off from an abused woman being dependent on her abuser. We need to begin to phase out the system entirely and look for alternative resolutions outside of government.
