I referred to it as a ponzi scheme because that's what it is....do facts not have any currency with you?

Pon·zi scheme Audio pronunciation of "ponzi scheme" ( P ) Pronunciation Key (pnz)
n.

An investment swindle in which high profits are promised from fictitious sources and early investors are paid off with funds raised from later ones.

------

The democrats are NOT the tax-raising party? Are the democrats not the party that favors more governement to "help" us? How again is giving people back their own money, or in this case their own personal security that they can pass on being selfish? Only the democrats could actually argue AGAINST a proposition that would make the social security "ponzi scheme" more progressive. This would be the same "party" that hasn't come out with a competing budget or damn near any proposals that I can remember on almost anything since 2000.

They are too busy trying to live in the 40s, 50s, 60s. The world is passing that party by, the quicker it does the quicker we will all be better off. Their base is shrinking, their socialism isn't appealing to working hispanics, their labor unions are dwindling, people are starting to wake up to the damange their trial-lawyer constituency is doing to the country, they have no moral compass and they can't be trusted with national security. Just what good are they?
