I don't want Socialist Security either ... it's going to be depleted by the time I am 68 anyways unless the minimum retirement age is raised to 70+ effective immediately. We have too many people retiring in their early/mid 60s and sitting around for 20 years when they could easily work another 5-10 years on a part time basis, or even full time in a different capacity.

Not true. Social Security was not 'wanted' back in the 30s. People called it socialism. Do your homework.

They wanted it, and were clamoring for it, right up until the Republicans decided they didn't want it and went into Media Overdrive.

Because finding a job in your '60s is a cakewalk, eh?

If you're lucky perhaps you'll make contact with reality by the time you reach retirement age.

I hope that is part of the Republican platform. It will go over very well.

So it's ok that we have people mooching off the system for 20+ years?
