Sounds like jobs too me
fair point
but
more taxes
Sorry, so what's the opposition to the wall then?
and if more taxes on borders less for welfare
in Communist China, digging and filling the same hole was a _job_
Drop social security and taxes would go down even with that system
for clarity: social security in the usa is the medicade/care stuff right?
No
get a load of this, he is in favor of welfare for unemployment, but against social security
It's a type of retirement fund
ahh state pension
No
yes
Pensions are only for certain police and military
if its a retirement fund paid for by the state its defacto a state pension
does it pay for other things?
Well maybe
Officially? No
so in the UK we have had state pensions for 110 years now
and its bankrupt
same for the rest of Europe
I have to pay in but will not be able to get a pension
Yeah, SS is going bankrupt too
A state pension that, like all state pensions, was never funded and therefore is paid like a Ponzi scheme
Actually SS was funded
Keyword was
SS? as in the historical peoples of germanic origin?
No
oh social security
sorry
its called national insurance here
Hold on, so why can retirees get fucked but not people who get fired for doing a shit job?
indeed
Well, I think that we need to ease off it
They can't work anymore in many cases. How do you ease off?
If your over a certain age, you keep paying in
If your under you drop it
