Fixing/Saving/Reforming Social Security

Via NCRenegade

VERBATIM POST
======================

Part of fixing the economy must involve dealing realistically with Social Security. Many on both sides of the political aisle want to make it more complicated than it really is. Though today Social Security is paying out more than it is taking in, its solvency depends on stopping the expenditures of its monies which are put in the general fund and used to finance everything in America. Publicly disclose what the monies are being used for besides paying recipients.

Here are five immediate ways to save social security:

1-Put social security in that elusive lock box making it inviolate for any other bills the
nation may incur. It is time we quit financing wars, social programs, etc. from these monies. Cannibalizing this fund to underwrite other programs is a disservice to those who pay into it and a disproportionate unappreciated hidden tax on its contributors. Take 10% of funds annually currently being taken from the Social Security Fund for other than its recipients and replace that as well as cut out that spending from the general fund. This will
generate a balance to the fund in 10 years for its previous rape.

2-Recognize that there should be no sliding scale for receipts on this money upon retirement for it has already been taxed when put in. Taxing these monies upon retirement is double taxation without representation. There was no financial wealth test for investing and one should not have to face one when monies are withdrawn.

3-Citizens should be allowed to place up to 10% or more of their monies from this fund into an alternative such as a 401K, IRA, government backed vehicles or even the stock market if they want to take that risk. This act then reduces their Social Security payouts.

4-Only those who put into the system should be allowed to withdraw from Social
Security. Spouses and children should be covered through other programs since no money was put into this fund for them. This should be an individual program not a family resource program.

• If a spousal benefit is desired then a sliding scale of increased contributions should be sought accordingly from those who want their children and spouses covered.
• If one dies before one can collect funds put in Social Security, those unpaid monies equal to that invested should be given to the enrollee’s estate.
• Each uncovered spouse and child should establish their own accounts with monies they pay in or additionally withdrawn from their spouses earnings to cover this.

5-The Totalization Agreement with Mexico should be nullified and any monies put
into the Social Security fund by non-citizens should remain with the fund to absorb its legacy costs from the first retirees who paid nothing into the system but withdrew from it. (Annual projected loss here to the fund is one billion dollars.)

6-The quarters required for pay in should be increased every two years by one quarter for those new payees until fifty quarters are established as a base-line not the current
forty after 2025. This avoids raising the retirement age and gives more resources to the fund.

Interesting finding on stimulus package

Via Conservative Heritage Times
VERBATIM POST
===========================

Peter Brimelow at VDare points out:

A powerful post by Hunter Wallace on the Occidental Dissent blog analyzes the political (strictly speaking, racial) economy of the near-trillion dollar Obama stimulus package. Unlike FDR’s Depression-era WPA (which, amazingly, it dwarfed in inflation adjusted terms), the Obama stimulus has not produced visible infrastructure results because, Wallace argues, looking at the microcosm of Alabama,

…it turns out that 39.79 percent went to health and human services, 18.13 percent to education, 17.76 percent went to workforce, 12.77 percent went to transportation and infrastructure, 2.2 percent to housing, 4.7 percent to public safety, 2.47 percent to energy, and 2.17 percent to environment.

Unlike the New Deal, that is why Obama’s “stimulus package,” which was 4.5x the size of FDR’s spending on the WPA, is simultaneously wildly unpopular and yet completely invisible to ungrateful White people in Alabama.

It is because the lion’s share of the “stimulus package” was channeled directly to African-Americans in the form of EBT cards, Medicaid, TANF welfare, Section 8 housing, and unemployment benefits…the “stimulus package” in Alabama seems to be nothing more than a thinly disguised bailout for African-Americans designed to forestall the total financial collapse of black households.

This sort of analysis is apparently unmentionable in the MSM. But it explains, of course, why the Tea Parties are,legitimately, a white “implict community”—and why “cutting spending” is such an explosive issue: American government is disproportionately for (and by) blacks.

Diversity is Strength! It’s also…fiscal gridlock

Communist indoctrination in class exposed

Gallup: Generic Republican Beats Obama 47-39%

===========================================

Homeschool!

As expected, I won few friends within the University of Missouri-St. Louis (UMSL) and University of Missouri-Kansas City (UMKC) administrations by exposing the communist indoctrination that occurred in their respective classrooms.

In response to a threatening letter I received from UMSL demanding that I meet with them for questioning, I submitted a Sunshine Law records request to the University of Missouri system. The emails below constitute UMSL’s reply.

The Civil War (Sic)Tariff

The Civil War revolutionized the financial methods of the United States. A new monetary system was created, and tax resources before undreamed of were resorted to, at first timorously, in the end with a rigor that hardly knew bounds. The tariff, which had long been the sole source of federal income, was supplemented by a series of extraordinary internal taxes, and was itself called on to yield more revenue and still more.

The high duties which the war thus caused to be imposed, at first regarded as temporary, were retained, increased, and systematized, so developing gradually into a system of extreme protection. For many years the tariff was spoken of, and accurately, as "the war tariff," — a name which faded out of use as the community became accustomed to the new regime, and forgot the various half-hearted and unsuccessful endeavors which were made from time to time toward reduction and reform.

Before the war we had a tariff of duties which, though not arranged completely or consistently on the principles of free trade, was yet very moderate in comparison with the existing system. For about 15 years before the Rebellion began, duties on imports were fixed by the acts of 1846 and 1857. The act of 1846 had been passed by the Democratic Party with the avowed intention of putting into operation, as far as was possible, the principles of free trade.

The 900-pound bronze by Pennsylvania sculptor Gary Casteel was put into place Monday in the atrium of the Capitol's four-year-old underground extension.

=========================================================

RICHMOND — A sculpture depicting a poignant battlefield reunion of brothers fighting for opposing sides in the Civil War opens in the Virginia Capitol just in time for the sesquicentennial of the Confederate Congress convening in Richmond.

"Brothers," a 900-pound bronze by Pennsylvania sculptor Gary Casteel, was put into place Monday in the atrium of the Capitol's 4-year-old underground extension.

It depicts sibling Union and Confederate soldiers, each on one knee, tearfully embracing after battle, their rifles on the ground at their sides.

The rebel soldier's shoes are torn open, his toes visible, and his simple bedroll slung over one shoulder contrasts with the well-provisioned knapsack of his better-equipped Union brother. The Union soldier wears a bandage around his head that covers his right eye.
