| Marks said: WTF crackpot ideas? How is stopping the government from meddling in every aspect of society and business a crackpot idea? I agree with some of what you said, like I'm not in favour of getting rid of the FDA or EPA but a lot of government shit needs to go. Personally I'm in favour of a negative income tax. So yeah some people would only be earning $4/hour but if we had a negative income tax they would be aided a set amount anually by the governent so they are helped out without removing the incentive to still keep working at that $4/hour job. And could you please find a link to say he would ban gay marriage? I know he's personally against gay marriage (he's religious) but I've heard him say countless times his personal views won't cloud his judgement when it comes to issues like this, abortion, etc. Social security is a Ponzi scheme so I really hope he would get rid of that shit. When it was first put into practice in the 1930's (or was it 20's, can't remember) the life expectancy of Americans was 61...lol this is funny because social insurance kicks in at age 65. Right from the get go it was just another tax grab. This BS needs to go. I've also heard nothin about him wanting to leave the UN, again if you could link that I'd appreciate it. But I don't see anything wrong with that really. Plus his policy of "just walk out [of Iraq/middle east]" is perfection. "Nation building" is just stupid. Sorry my post is lacking facts and shit but I'm just about to leave for a class, I'll post a better response after class. |
That's one of the reasons I have such a problem with Social Security, it was started with such underhanded purposes. The government knew most weren't expected to live to 65, so that was just extra money for them to blow. And those that did make it to 65 didn't live much longer beyond that, so they definitely didn't get anywhere near what they put in. Unfortunately for the government, people started living healthier, longer lives. So now, they don't have all that extra money to spend how they want cause now they have to pay it out.
@ OP
I think the US's own spending habits are going to ruin us quicker than China ever could. Besides, once we stop spending like we have a bottomless pit of money and get our economy back on track, we can pay them back and owe them nothing.
