There is a maximum amount that a person can contribute to Social Security and therefore there is a limit on how much one can take out. But two workers who are married to each other both contribute the maximum amount individually and later in retirement only take out 50% of the higher contribution. In other words a wife and a husband can both contribute the maximum but later only claim based on one salary. Meanwhile two single people that live together their whole lives both contribute the maximum and then both claim the maximum that each of them can claim. Tell me again why, based on gov perks, people want to get married?
In my situation since my wife gets a gov pension I lose 100% of my social security payments as I cannot claim it at all. But I still "get to" pay in.
Officially blacks are the victims in this country except when one looks at statistics that describe who is victimizing whom.
The gov debate is always about the rich versus the poor but the real opponents are the lawmakers versus the ordinary citizens. Rich people work with gov to keep our money for them.
A real liberal would be interested in promoting liberty for all. Take any issue at all and we can see that modern liberalism always takes the side against liberty and for "fairness".
The MSM is actually having more and more moments of isolated honesty.
If one country does poorly economically other countries can take advantage of that situation but we would still all be better off if all countries did well. Likewise, when rich people work hard and earn money we all are better off than if they are punished for their hard work.
The Gay rights movement which is really about special rights depends on the unproven idea that being gay is genetically determined. That idea is falling apart almost as fast as the ideas behind gloabal warming.
