1 AnswerPolitics1 decade agoDo you support 'means testing' for Social Security Insurance Benefits?
Let's look at workers A & B. They are both getting ready to retire. They have both paid the same amount for the premiums based on a lifetime of earnings of about $2,000,000. They are ready to undergo the means testing.
Worker A has always driven a new Cadillac, traded in every 2 years.
He lived in homes he could barely afford.
He drank Johnny Walker Blue Label.
He vacationed in exotic locations.
He bought his clothes at Neimann's.
He was never able to save because he spent it all.
His means is a net 0 because the amount of consumer debt he has
equals the equity in his home.
Worker B has always driven older pickups, bought after they had depreciated out..
He lives in a modest home he could easily afford & paid it off years ago.
He drank Budweiser.
He vacationed at the local lake in a tent.
He bought his clothes at K-Mart.
He has been a diligent saver most of his life.
His means is a net $400,000 with no debt.
The means testing says worker A gets the benefits & worker B does not?
If you believe means testing is a viable path for SS, please explain why worker B should get less (or none at all) than worker A?
15 AnswersPolitics1 decade agoIn your opinion, what is a state of personal poverty in the USA?
I'm not talking about $s. This is posed as a situational issue (no car etc.). You may regionalize it if you would like.

12 AnswersPolitics1 decade agoAre 'blocking' & 'reporting' symptoms of low self esteem?
I have never blocked or reported anyone, as I support the 1st Amendment & do not feel 'threatened' by anyone. Go ahead, take a cheap shot & I'll laugh...
4 AnswersPolitics1 decade agoIs Political Correctness a symptom of low self esteem?
Reporting, deleting & blocking behavior on this forum tells me that there are a lot of people out there who are quite fragile...sorry about your self esteem issues. Please take this opportunity to offer answers that insult, belittle or criticize ol' "uncle meat". Perhaps this will help bolster that anemic ego. I promise that I will only laugh...no self esteem issues here.

7 AnswersPolitics1 decade agoHow many of you have changed your basic philosophies from Liberal to Conservative or viceversa?
please explain the defining moment or succession of events that led to your rethinking of how you perceive the world.
Example: I personally was raised by 2 liberal parents. I was influenced, of course, by their nurturing & considered myself a liberal. No complaints there, loved 'em both. A little later in life I voted for a man named Jimmy Carter. His actions as POTUS embarrassed me so much that I began to research the world of conservatism & found comfort in my new discoveries. I have not wavered since.
