The Maroon ...

The reason so many people have only Social Security, as they by and
large, were told that SS would be there to bail them out when they
retired. A Retirment account. Something it was NEVER intended to be.
Now we have high income pensioners with one or more pension fund
drawing SS at the same time. This puts one hell of a drain on the
system.

So you think that they should get nothing?
BTW, The "drain" on the "system" (in real terms, the economy)
would be about the same as "supply side economics" or some
such, like your much beloved "deficit spending", would it not?
Or if the same money was coming out of the net economy
in some other way .... exactly the same effect.

Except, in this case, you are trying to add to the deficit
and thus INCREASE taxes (with compounded interest).

Btw..the average Poor in the US, is considered poor in no
other part of the planet. Ever see the government figures on the
poverty level?

Ever see what the cost of living in the US is?
Let's just make a deal & all retire to China or Mexico or someplace.
