There is no government there, give your head a shake. I WANT SMALL GOVERNMENT NOT NO GOVERNMENT

Are you able to understand this?

Google is your friend.

The TFG (Transitional Federal Government) represents Somalia in the United Nations.

I guess there is a government, so you could move there and stop paying into SS.

Send us a postcard.

Your even more ignorant than I thought, they dont have small government that respects freedom. Are you aware what would happen to Christians there? No your not because you want them to die.

So pick a different country, quit your job or stop whining.

It's possible some bad things might happen to Christians in Somalia.

There you go with your malfunctioning crystal ball, telling someone you don't know what they think or want.

I shouldn't have to leave the country or quit my job.

Possible?????? They would be executed and beheaded for being Christian, dont kid yourself.

Admit the truth that ss must be ended and Ill agree with you :D

It's almost as if a lack of government protection against people encroaching on your religious freedoms can lead to people encroaching on your religious freedoms, as has happened throughout history in almost every country! I'm sure we could solve this conundrum with small government and tax breaks.

Let people suffer from there own actions. I shouldn't have to pay for this nonsense.

End social security and get those lazy leeches off of it now :D

i guess you never lived in a world where there were lots of homeless old people dying in the streets. that's what the world was like before social security. not a pretty sight, even for the young.

SS doesnt fix the problem. Like I said, I want to keep my own money

I have no problem with the people paying into it and getting it back but have the younger generations opt out and refund them whatever they put in.

End social security. Social Security is a ponzi scheme :D

social security is not a ponzi scheme. but it is a pay-as-you-go system. the difference is that a ponzi scheme is a pay-as-you-go system disguised as an investment program that promises high returns. ponzi schemes are deceptive. not true with social security, nothing deceptive about ss.

watch out! any benefit cut that disregards the money owed to the social security trust fund is equivalent to a retroactive tax increase, which would fall most heavily on middle and working class earners, who, because their income was below the payroll cap, paid the greater percentage of their wages to create the fund. this is theft! this is the rich stealing from the middle and working classes! this is an outrage!

I would still consider it a ponzi scheme. Like I said either end it or allow people to opt out/no bailouts

Social security is stealing from the young to give to the poor. It is robbing the younger generations especially since there will be nothing left for them. People shoudl be able to plan there own future and save by themselves not the government stealing from them.

People need to be self reliant instead of on the government. As well Social security is bankrupting this country and is wrong.

Do you agree that social security must be ended?

my father gets social security and he gets the maximum amount (>2000 a month) . it isnt "stealing from the young to give to the poor", he paid way more into it that he will ever get back

Well you should probably write and urge your federal representatives to vote for your interests then. You'll get no help from us. If what you're looking for is sympathy, pull out your dictionary; you'll find sympathy between shit and syphilis.

Yeah, can you imagine? People treated like shit just because their bearded sky fairy is different than someone else's. Good thing nothing like that has ever happened here.

Whether SS needs to be ended is not objective, it is subjective. You have not presented a compelling enough argument to convince me to change my opinion.

Poster Blain has linked a form you can use to opt out of paying into SS; you should probably look into that.

The politicians are all corrupt, there was one guy who could have fixed this mess but the people are too stupid to elect Ron Paul

Nice job making fun of Christianity, how about you say the same about Islam, you wouldn't dare make fun of it

I presented plenty of evidence but people prefer to ignore it because they cant handle the truth :D

I am not a religious leader or anything like that :D

Duhvert.

Islam isn't oppressing me to the same degree as Christianity.

All you presented was your opinion. You presented no facts.

I am not a religious leader or anything like that :D

You asked for a way for you to opt out of SS and one was given to you.

How so? There really is no character that I follow

Someone without a basic grasp of english... Seems in character to me. There is only ONE "there," to be used for everything. Add in the same problem with the yours and you get one really uneducated hick.

No, I have made it very clear I oppose all forms of welfare and want my freedom back. I am not trolling

How can you get something back that was in place before you were born?

Nothing is going to change, so move to a first world nation that doesn't have these forms of welfare. Good luck with that. Instead of trolling here, go troll your congressmen and leave us alone, troll.
