yes, let's make people work longer
People live longer, people are in a good health longer, so people should also work longer, right?

The SS surplus ought to be used to pay down the debt, so that there will be more money available in the future to use for SS, instead of debt and interest payments.Christianity: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...Comment

Not really. At a certain point you really don't get much value out of having the elderly work. Besides, all other things being equal, Black men don't live as long as rest of us (average age of death is 67, IIRC)., and it would be unfair to deny them a retirement just because I'm gonna live to be 100. Nor could we allow some people to retire earlier if they're Black.Originally posted by VJ

Some people die at the age of 20. Under the same logic, it would be unfair to them if SS wouldn't start at the age of 18.Comment

For no group of people is the average age of death 20. If one whole social catagory of people (Black Men) only live to be, on average, 67, and retirement age is raised to 67.5, then on average, Black men will not ever see retirement. Not the occassional unlucky Black man, the average Black man.
I think we have a right to have a decade or two of retirement. We worked hard all our lives building this world, we should be able to sit back an enjoy it for a time, and not just a handful of years so some gnome can justify cutting taxes.Christianity: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...Comment

EDIT: I just realised that arguing with you about this matter is absolutely pointless. This particular absurd questioning serves no purpose, I'll end it now.Last edited by RGBVideo; March 2, 2004, 16:13.Comment

I'd really rather not.

But you do see how the quote sounded like you were lumping yourself in with black men?“It is no use trying to 'see through' first principles.
