Social Security is a deeply racist institution

My goodness, you're starting to sound like we sensible Conservatives. Something happen to you over the weekend to make you see the light?

 

Anything other than your baseless, unsupported say so that supports your claims?

 

Amen. (Yes.)

 

The link you provided of mine only confirmed my natural concern for the black people. While its no secret just how tough its been for blacks to live here in America, I gave my thoughtful solution to their troubles by offering to pay for their immediate deportation back to their motherland. So while I may rightly be seen as an anti racist for my benevolent nature toward minorities, I have a hard accepting all that praise until the job of separating the races comes to final fruition.

 

I am no Liberal, but Social Security has kept millions of older Americans from sleeping in the street. It was so popular with all Americans that FDR was elected three more times.

Social Security was meant for those who retired, but people with drug and alcohol problems can draw from it. So can those no longer able to work and children of deceased. None of those people were mean to draw from it when it was set up. Another problem with it is that the government can't invest the money in anything but government bonds and money market funds. So the growing potential of SS is limited. Another problem is people are living much longer and drawing more out than they put in. The age that a person can retire and draw it needs to be raised. There should be no cut off as to when you can stop paying into it as there is now. If your working and drawing a check, you should be paying into it. Bush did have the right plan for Social Security though.

 

estimated life span is measured from birth, but think you knew that already

 

So. Fat people with shorter life expectancy are also left out. Homosexuals, smokers, those with sedintary lifestyles all have shorter life expectancy and left out of SS benefits. Being within the identity politics group of the day doesn't need special treatment from the government

 

I find it humorous that some of you still can't call social security the racist program it has evolved into, so you find the need to come up with these irrelevant comparisons in order to escape from admitting the truth. Your ability to skew the message of this OP is comparable to the screams of racists by leftists aimed at the Tea Partiers (having no proof whatsoever of racism) and with the leftist claim of racism by WHITES and CONSERVATIVES alike for not voting for or not agreeing with obama simply because of his mixed color; both examples of a witch-hunt involving racist invective are equally ludicrous.

 

It is not racist because it was not intended to, nor does it operate to, discriminate negatively against blacks based on some belief of racial inferiority or superiority.

Just because something has different effects on different racial groups does not mean it is racist. Racist means intentional discrimination based up negative prejudices against a group or persons because they are members of a group.

But then, racists will frequently ignore these distinctions and falsely call something racist when it suits their own racist agenda or ideology.

 

Well, since none of my posts or responses on this forum have ever hinted at me intentially discriminating a minority or my claiming to have a superiority over them, I find the fact that you and others at times calling me a racist to be quite disengenuous. So wouldn't you and other leftists here be guilty of falsely calling me and or others a racist just an exercise to suit your own agenda? Two can play this game. Your personal definition of 'prejudice' as it relates to racism could very well be taken out of context, where in reality the so-called racists are merely giving facts on a particular group or minority of people. Someone having thin skin and is overly emotional may indeed fit into the category of people you might find screaming fire in a theatre, or one that might call someone a racist for them refusing to be a multiculturalist or for not having a timely politically correct response.

 

I have to disagree with your assertion. Others can decide for themselves.

 

Says the guy screaming racism.

 

I'm sure that you really care about minorities.

 

Just as much as I care about everyone regardless of their economic or financial situation.

 

Really? Where? The African-American gentleman who processed my application was cheerful and helpful and even pointed out a few other things I could apply for. We even had a good laugh or two while waiting for some documents to print out, discussing recent news stories.

Of course, when I went in, they had a very light work load. Some offices are a little more over-worked and under-staffed. Maybe some people's attitudes just go bad and start fermenting in the waiting rooms and leads them to show an attitude problem when FINALLY that office worker gets around to their once-privileged asses. Having an attitude problem when you meet a government functionary does not usually help much of anything.

 

Yes, but you were wearing an Obama campaign button.

 

You assume too much. I just don't wear an obnoxious attitude. I even manged to have a decent conversation with several people who noticed the Obama sticker on my car at a Washington Arms Collectors show.

Maybe you need to check yourself before you wreck yourself here. Maybe the reason you have trouble negotiating government paper work is that you come in with the attitude that you are dealing with losers and let it show like you do here.

The real working on a plantation plan are IRA's and 401K's. Guess who is going to get the bulk of your savings from these programs, Wall Street, not you. Typical fees on a 402k are 2% per year, after 50 years, that means that over 60% of your savings will go to those who run the 401k.
