Social Security should have a self-sustaining portion that was funded by contributions from both employers and employees. That's what we know and have known for 70 successful years.
It has to have a payroll tax that's dedicated to Social Security. The Social Security tax has been very successful over the years in raising almost all of our elderly citizens out of poverty.
Social media is teaching us that everyone fucks up, everyone is stupid sometimes, and that this is probably part of being a thinking human. The one exception are those who participate in the self-righteousness Olympics and they often turn people who ...
There's been a lot said about Social Security reform. What has been left out of the debate is the double tax on Social Security benefits. I believe it's time to get rid of a tax that punishes seniors and discourages work and retirement savings.

Eduardo Saverin: [to Mark, discussing the newspaper article accusing Eduardo of animal cruelty] This is absurd. I'm being accused of animal cruelty, it's better to be accused of necrophilia. Mark Zuckerberg: [sardonically] It *IS* better to be accuse...
Amy: So what do you do? Sean Parker: I'm an entrepreneur. Amy: You're unemployed. Sean Parker: I wouldn't say that. Amy: What would you say? Sean Parker: That I'm an entrepreneur.
Social Security, for example - I'm 43. I've paid into the system. You know what? That money has been stolen from me. I know that my parents who are on Social Security - they've got to continue to receive it. They're dependent on it. It is their prima...
Socialism and communism fall of their own weight because, as Margaret Thatcher said, you run out of other people's money. Because socialized medicine never falls of its own weight because you put people on lists, and they die waiting to get the treat...
