The fix is simple, just raise taxes! I pay enough in taxes, I pay for my fair share. I would rather end social security and have a private retirement account. Increasing my taxes, once again just shows what a scam it is.

    How do they do it in Canada and Europe? I seriously doubt they’re pushing 'em out into the ocean like, “Go be with the seals! We’ll miss you!”

        Uhh, well, I support voluntary euthanasia. People should have every right to end their lives on their terms.

        It’s the same for elective abortion for me: people should have every right to bring life into the world on their terms, too.

        But that still wouldn’t solve the social security problem…

          Social security would best be solved by private retirement accounts. That would solve the problem quickly.

            What do you mean by “solved”? Because, obviously, a lack of social security couldn’t possibly function as the program does as it exists.

              Problem is solved. Just move everything to private funds. Instead of the grand Ponzi scheme we have now

                Oh. Well, then raising taxes it solves it just as simply and in the exact same way. No more grand Ponzi scheme and puts money into private hands.

                  It doesn’t solve anything. It just increases taxes.

                  Either that or raise the percentage and let everyone pay more. If you think it has value. You should be willIng to pay more for it. Right now it’s 12.5. Raise it to 20%
