The CEO and Hanson's first link appear to be the same, as do Hanson's second and third.
Ironically this doesn't affect me at all.
In Canada, the only way to so much as break even on social security is to work for ten years, 55-65, and then collect for forty, until you're 105.
Ignoring overhead, a single employee can support four retirees, and the system is still bankrupt.
That's a swindle. I'm sure the US situation is identical.
Social Security is nothing but a carefully devised plan to transfer wealth from Black folks to White folks.
It's clearly racist due to lifespan demographics.
I'm kidding of course. That's not actually designed in, it's simply a consequence of implementation.
Treated as an investment, social security in the US has an ROI that you could easily approximate if you would simply bury half your investment in a coffee can in the back yard, then set the other half on fire.
