Ok so Social Security. An amount of money taken out of your paychecks so that when you get old you have some money.
Ok so here's the debate: Should Social Security be cut? Ok so for my opinion Social Security was never meant to be permenant so its about time to get rid of it. Ok and for those people that have already be working for a while and have had money taken out the government should just right them a check now not when they are old. Because you will not live long enough to see all the money that was taken from you. |

Considering we've only covered one aspect of social security, I don't feel that any of this is valid. We need to bring in the other areas that it applies to among our society. If not, how can you say we should remove SS from our government?
According to Wikipedia, Social Security in the United States currently refers to the federal Old-Age, Survivors, and Disability Insurance (OASDI) program. While growing up my father passed away when I was four. I was raised by a single mother with three kids. Leaving other factors out, social security has helped pay my way through school, medical, dental, and other expenses that she would have not been able to pay for on her own. Now, I have never been an advocate for SS, but I do see the benefits of this program. Considering the fact that I see most people on here that lift up Socialism, how is it that you do not stand behind Social Security? |
