What exactly happened to the SS money that has been collected? It was supposed to be invested and allowed to grow? When you paid in, it was an IOU to future money to be paid after retirement? You are making the same commitment with 402k Ira's. Would you be willing to give up your nest egg to the gov't, for and IOU to future benefits? The SS money was stolen. Are you going to let the same people who stole the SS money have at your 401k money?

Unless we can expand the economy, expand capitalism, instill entrepreneurialism, grow the country's wealth, get gov't out of our lives, then no we are not too far gone. Can we? Not with the sissy whining liberals we have today.
