Question

Is social security going to be gone in the next thirty years?

Answer 1

In the uk they call this 'benefits', and believe me over half the people who claim could go and get work and support themselves but its a bit too easy not to. If you have a child you have the key to a work free life! Most of the people I know live like this so I can asure you its true. I myself work full time and am proud to do so. It is sad because those who need the help do not always get it, I hope the benefits system stays around, but it needs adjusting so those honest people get the help they deserve, and those who s***w the system get caught! I dont believe they would scrap the system ever. Taxes will just keep increasing!

Answer 2

Most Americans on this site seem to hate "social security",

especially benefits paid to people who have nothing..

What makes a country great is how it cares for its weakest people......................but don't forget that many social security benefits are universal, by which I mean that they are paid to; or used by every one.

I believe that there are so many tight regulations on welfare benefits that very few people can abuse the natural rights they have to a subsistence pension.

Every one deserves a chance and there will always be a necessity for social security.
