Ron do you think Bill Gates will apply for his SS benefits when he reaches retirement age? I think he will.
quote:The majority of politicians on the national scene, both democrat & republican, received substantial campaign funding from the big multi-national corporations. This is why I belong to neither of those parties.
Same here I do not belong to either of the largest political parties.
quote:I remain fully supportive of a welfare system to help those who find themselves in temporary distress. Everybody should have a roof over their head and food in their stomachs during life's
quote:BECAUSE BILL GATES AND ANYONE WHO MAKES OVER 104K IS PROBABLY PLANNING THAT THE LIFSTYLE THEY WILL LIVE AFTER RETIREMENT IS GOING TO TAKE MORE TO LIVE THEN COLLECTING SS WHEN THEY RETIRE ?
George I agree, the reason I put your and Rons quote together is my wife works for the unemployment commission here(our UE rate last month was 11.6%, highest in the country) but my point is that Kim has seen people apply for UE benefits who had earnings in excess of $600,000 for the year. Now granted I make a good wage, that person who makes $600K will recieve the same benefit I get. Now with Rons estimate of what a person pays and should do for retirment. They should never collect those payments????
Or collect unemployment benefits, I mena with someone earning $600K they should have enough money to not need a measly $372 a week right?? But no they are and able to collect those even if the middle class think they should not need it.
As the saying goes the more you make the more you spend!!
Last point, while I was in business for myself I got to go to every type of house. My clients demographics were average of $35k>. But my point the wealthiest were the tightest bunch around. They did not like paying for anything( please do not take that the wrong way)!! LOL
Well that is how most of them got their money!!!
