With declining wages and increased costs of everything and no company pension they want you to save 13% of a smaller pie? Do they think you can live your life in a van down by the river and then live in a luxury condo when you retire? All workers in the world, especially the younger ones, are screwed.

They didn't ignore it. Back in the early 1980's they nearly tripled the amount they withheld from our wages. They told us we were funding our parents and grandparents retirement while buliding a huge surplus to take care of us as well.

Hey MirageGuy.  Pay me money for 45 years and I'll use it, invest it, make money off of it, and then at the end of that 45 years I'll give you back exactly what you paid me with no interest, a little each month.  Sucker!

It won't be so easy to quote Confucious and wax poeti...more

Another thing they didn't mention. A year ago in my location it was 84 degrees on St. Patricks day. This year it was 33 degrees. The temps were cold all over the country this year as compared to last year. Add that to a Sunday Holiday and you have a drop in sales. Not really hard to figure out unless you're "chicken li...more

Hey Boy,  How can you be paying for us when you're fighting for a job in this shitty economy?  If you have kids still in diapers then you haven't paid enough into ss to even be making a comment.  You punk.
