Reply #32: It is not simply a sales pitch

It is a hard fact. Is it fair to force someone earning 250,000 a year to contribute 3 times more to the Social Security system than a person earning 80,000 a year when they both receive the same retirement benefits? Social Security is supposed to be an insurance program not a benefit program.

People under 30 years of age should wake up to the fact that they are about to support the vast baby boomer bubble of retirees that will become eligible from 2010 through 2035. It now takes 3 current workers to support 1 retiree.
