You can not win this argument...you need to quit while you are behind.
Furthermore I'm going to continue to do what I need to do give myself and my family as great an edge as possible.
I do what I feel is fair whether you people like it or not because if opportunity arises you'd ing me sideways for the advantage and when I say you I mean the majority of the people in this world don't ing care about how hard I work.
Previously stated.
I'm ing tired of working and paying for retired people who are fully capable of working for themselves. Its not my ing job to make sure grandma and grandpa have their SS now when I won't see mine ever. you self absorbed do good egotistical whiners for thinking its my ing duty to pay into a system that provides me with zero benefits. I'm foot their ing bill not the other way around. I'm paying for the fixed income that they love to and moan about. them and you for trying to make it my responsibility.Poor people get help, rich people get help, skin color gets help, non americans get help from food to tuition to ing everything. The people that suffer the most are the people that work the hardest in middle to slightly upper middle class. They get the least.

The opportunity will be arising soon. You should learn never to mess with the feds.
I don't know. We aren't legally married so with the current set of cir stances and the fact that she qualifies now with my info and disclosure she likely would have qualified then when we keep the info private. So if you want to get technical about it I probably went through the trouble of keeping mum about something when it really didn't matter.
Sans the WIC. omg I cheated you out of milk and cheese.
..and peanut butter.
Its not an arguement to be won. I'm working within the law she's just butthurt because I collect money he doesn't think I deserve.
One mans intelligent tax break or creative loophole are theft to another.
I did not know that. The crunchy stuff would have qualified? /melt
Listen asshole, you have to pay the SS tax, you are just lucky that your poor employer has to pay half of yours. The business owners like myself pay the full amt for ourselves and half of each employee...you do not hear me ing about it do you??? So go pay your lousy $124 a month and STFU.
I do pay it. No I won't STFU, you act as if its ok because its the law as if its perfectly acceptable for all of us to continue to pay into something that completely failed years ago but was so ed beyond comprehesion they never bothered to fix it. Their solution is that time will fix it. So we're all left paying for someone elses up and we'll continue to foot the bill at no payoff to us. THAT. They should have stopped handing out SS monies to physically able people. Just like they shouldn't be handing food stamp money to me. if I'm not going to take it. I can definitely use the extra help.
I guess since there is no law that says I have to pay my taxes I really shouldn't be required to. Remember when all those guys got together and decided well this I'm not paying. Show me the law and I'll pay. Well they couldn't show them a law because one didn't exist but they sure showed them a jail cell.
Or how about randomly pulling people over during the holiday weekend and drawing blood even though our law clearly states we have a right to protect ourselves from illegal search and seizure. ing law didn't stop them.
Don't be so righteous considering how ed up the system is.
I'm perfectly content to carry on this conversation. There are people out there right now...the majority that would gladly take advantage of anything they can and they do.
No one, no system and no ins ution is going to put one person ahead of the other. I've had customers lie to me lie to banks even lie to themselves and none of that will change. 90% of the people we come in contact with would toss you under the bus if it came down to a them or me situation.
I'm always going to do what I do because not only do I want to survive but I want the benefits of the hard work I do, I'm sick of seeing it stripped away for other peoples needs. I stopped caring a long time ago. I'm gonna raise my kids to put themselves and their futures first and that their own self worth and value is far greater than any collective group of strangers. You don't like it well too ing bad.
If anyone is depending on SS when they retire, they will be in for a shock. This system was set up when they had 77 workers for every retiree, in 10 years, their will be 2 for every retiree...clearly this will not work, but you are stuck with it, so stop whining.
I have paid in over 320K into my SS since I got out of school....will I see a return on that investment? No. But that is life....I accept that I am helping the elderly have some semblance of a life.
I feel a lot better about giving money for that than for paying to fight this ing war, which is costing almost as much, and is benefiting no one.
BTB you really have a lot of suppressed anger. Your heads going to explode one day when you are washing those trailers.
That'd be me in my own little way.
BTW, who do you think is buying most of those trailers that you peddle, anyway???
The same people that you are trashing....the elderly.
All I can say is you need to do what the law requires you to do. If you don't agree then protest, or write to your congressman, or whatever. I've had enough issues with breaking the law and I wouldn't wish them on anyone else.
I'm glad you've come to terms with it because I haven't. I'm not good with it. I will about it loudly and as frequently as I can because I want change. Shutting up about things never yielded results.
So its ok to shut up about SS which costs us about as much as this war costs us. Surely there's purpose behind this war because our lawmakers and government say so, just like paying SS is a law and they say so. You can't pick and choose stupidity, we can't be ok with getting ed one way and not the other. Its not ok to take my money for the benefit of others any more than its ok for us to be milked dry over some war based on a bunch of lies.
Our peers will be stuck killing themselves at work until their old and crusty because bluehairs need some semblance of a life. Shouldn't it be their sacrifice for the betterment of the future...oh no we should all shut up and let them continue to take food off our tables and allow them to attribute the collapse of our economy so long as we aren't turning our cheeks on the fight against terra.
uh no. Most of my customers are contractors and middle aged families wanting to hit the local lakes. I bet less than 15% of my sales are to the elderly. Elderly being anyone over 55. Not that I consider that elderly...just sayin.
My core audience is 30-50. The industry is shifting though. Hopefully the baby boomers bring in some buying power, if they haven't already ed their credit up.
I hear ya B2B. I hear ya.
Well lets see now...you hate older people that didn't save enough for retirement and you hate the ing richers who hopefully ARE saving enough for retirement. Do you just hate old people?
I've said it a million times. The baby boomer generation is the one that when looked back upon, will go down as the WORST GENERATION EVER.
