If those "over 60" guys got back a quarter what they (and/or their employers) paid into it all their lives, they could live just about anywhere they want. It's not so much a "social" program as it is a Ponzi scheme which redirects money into crap programs, such as the one that blue girl undeniably uses.
That has been proven. I wish I had the link to the article. The average person making 40-60k per, investing the funds stolen by the government at even a modest, realistic return, would have a fund of approximately 700-800k to draw against after 35 years work. The author lays everything out.
Unless incredibly stupid, the fund would continue to grow and could be willed to family.
Oh please, keep dreaming.
I would love to have either or both of you take me on in a situation like above. I'd have both of you so spittin' mad by the time I was done you'd be ready to shoot me, if you weren't so scared of guns.
....and afterward they'd come to their (D)Umper and create the Mother of all Bouncies with clapping crowds.
You were supposed to convert the two older gents, and the crowd was supposed to nod, cheer, and clap.
Yes. In that order. It's important, (D)Ummies.
