Social Security is a program that was established based upon: misleading arguments, intentional falsehoods, and outright Social-Fascist propaganda… it is both highly detrimental to our overall society, and to the individual Americans involved specifically… and its clearly explained and politically known Ponzi-Scheme design has ensured its eventual destruction within the next ten years, anyway! However, for those of you that don’t understand the issues involved, I will gladly explain this particularly harsh political statement.

At the time of Social Securities adoption, our leaders made the following societal statements: “The American electorate is ignorant, slothful, and lazy when it comes to preparing for their necessary and eventual retirement.” “They haven’t the wisdom to prepare for their own inescapable futures, nor a proper understanding of the necessary investment vehicles to achieve that purpose.” “It is, therefore, an inherent function and necessity for our government to properly act in their personal best interests to meet these necessary societal needs.” Apparently, they didn’t [honestly] hold us in a very high opinion or personal regard!

However, let’s examine these governmental premises on their merits with respect to actual Truth, rather than Political Spin [necessary] to simply take all of our hard earned money or cash. There are three of them, and they follow a very logical path or line of thought. Each one of these, building upon the other!

Quote: “The American electorate is ignorant, slothful, and lazy when it comes to preparing for their necessary and eventual retirement.” This statement seems very arrogant, condescending, and pompous – particularly since it is factually untrue! Let’s examine the facts.

According to the United States Census Bureau, an astounding 66.2 percent of retirees owned their own homes, free and clear, in the year 2000. The median home value was listed as $119,600 dollars at that particular time. Your single largest expense and ongoing cost throughout life is that mortgage! Meanwhile, that percentage could only go up if every American had 16.9 percent more income to spend over the course of their lifetime. Without Social Security taxation, that is precisely what would happen!

Fully 54 percent of Americans are expecting a 401(k), IRA, Keogh, or other retirement account to provide a highly necessary stream of retirement income…
