And since the government pays for all the folks who aren't working people through welfare, etc. I guess that means everyone is watched out for. Hooray!

edit - ah... guess what it is.

If you make $80K a year and cant save up for your own retirement, your a loser.. I net 1/3rd that and pretty much set for life..

1.3 of that is less than $30,000 a year so that is a LIE! You cannot hardly pay rent, food and bills with that. So either you are telling us a LIE or you are leaving out some facts- like maybe you live with your folks or your wife maybe has a job and thus you "really" make $60,000 a year.

It's $106 K. The ceiling for receiving SS is $106K.

So there are many, many old people "on" SS who are collecting $106K per year, year in and year out.

Since you measure loserdom by income, would you say these are losers?

Are you sure about that? I thought that was the salary base for taxation purposes

Freedom of speech is a constitutional right, but I don't walk around calling people Aholes just because I can.

I take what everything people say about themselves on the internet with a grain of salt. It doesn't even matter if it's true or not because it doesn't impact anything one way or the other.

Sure, I guess the old people see that as something positive, but I guess if your old and going to die, debt isnt a concern of yours..

Please, tell me what free stuff the AARP has gotten for me??

That salary base is for tax purposes.
