The True Falacy Which is Socialism!!

Soooobored, Social Security and successful; now there is an oxymoron if I have ever heard one! Social Security is so successful that if something is not done to bail it out in the next decade, the baby boomers will completely wipe it out! FDR WAS a socialist which is about a half-step from communist but he is portrayed as this fantastic president. Do some REAL research and you will find quite a few things FDR did when president to be very distasteful, even for a liberal!

If social security is the most successful program that sound tell you why we do not need anymore government programs.

The money we all have put into the Social Security program and continue to put in it has been used to pay of other debts the government has made. They are not good managers of money, period! The Social Security money should have been locked for those paying into it, not to bail out the debts of the country made by people who love to spend the money of others! We keep getting little tiny raises that aren't a drop in the bucket for those seniors that it's their only income. When the money plays out, how is the government going to help them then? Yes, you got it! The government is definitely trying to take over ever facet our lives, make us dependent on them. We, as individuals, are not responsible enough to make our own decisions. The fact is, the first government program for welfare should have been rescinded years ago. People should have been made to realize they should be working and saving for the future. We would not have as many deadbeats in the world as we have today, if the government was not sniffing at our heels and wanting to know everything we do - making it easy for these people to lean on someone else (the government) instead of making it on their own. When the government takes over our paychecks, these people are going to have different thoughts about our 'wonderful government'. When our money starts being divided equally among those that are unwilling to work, what will they do? And, I believe with every day passing, the government is getting closer to their goal. But you can be sure they have things in place where they will not be harmed by this! Socialism is coming to this country little by little. And, I'm afraid it's going to come very fast if Obama gets in office.

Obama talks a good talk right now. He does,he doesn't, he does -wonder what the answer to the same question will be right before election time? If elected, we are going to see hardship in our country like you would not believe. The Democrats have hand picked him to run for President, not even caring that he only speaks eloquently from a teleprompter and then sometimes messes up. Give him a chance to speak on his own and he says different things. Apparently, that is the reason he won't do town hall meetings with McCain. They want to make sure he doesn't have too much space in which to contradict himself! Look for lots more taxes and universal health care (NOT the best in the world)if he becomes president.

Very well stated! I agree with you that it burns me, too, seeing people who can work but choose to be leeches instead. My "favorite" is the people who collect SSI for a reading disability. Excuse me....there ARE jobs out there that don't require good reading skills.
