Another assumption.
No.
Its not an "assumption".
Overall, 40 percent of respondents said they are not currently saving for retirement while 34 percent said they didn't have any retirement money saved whatsoever.
That's because an irresponsible entitlement program was created 70 years ago that lulled people into a sense of security based on the idea that it was the State's job to extort a certain amount of their income.
Which leads me back to my original point, made hours ago:
I can circumvent the failure of "social security" by making good, private investment decisions for my retirement while simply writing off all the money an inept federal government has stolen from my paychecks over the years.
Americans can't really do that with a similar entitlement scam regarding their health care.
Your problem, Danforth, is that you have a fundamental misunderstanding of the role our government is inteneded to play in the lives of its citizens.
Using tenuous and specious arguments, I can fabricate any number of "needs" or "rights" I feel the State is obligated to provide its citizens.
In fact, that's the entire template for the leftist, or "progressive" worldview.
There's no limit to the power of the state---so long as an indigent child, somewhere, lacks a "right" to a puppy or rainbow or all that is good.
And that's why people who promulgate such a childish approach to civics are so intellectually unserious to me.
And then I can't hide my contempt for them and say ugly shit to them.
And then I get dumped by RCade.
But I tolerated you for a long time tonight without getting particularly nasty.
And I'm proud of that.
