Brilliant observation.

If you were looking for his opinion on your opinion, it will be a bit hard to do. We can put our thanks into providence that such a man existed, and contributed so greatly to the federalist essays. As far as his opinion on the Trump style of leader, well we know what he would say, dont we? Thanks for the warning Alexander...

“A fondness for power is implanted in most men, and it is natural to abuse it when acquired. This maxim, drawn from the experience of all ages, makes it the height of folly to intrust any set of men with power which is not under every possible control; perpetual strides are made after more as long as there is any part withheld.”

Hey fool I don't need SS because like rayg I invested my money and never lived beyond my means.

Good for you. Many retirees cannot say the same, whether it be through bad luck or bad choices.

Your health care is socialized, as are your roads, police, fire. So where are you going to start, if you opine on the 'evils' of socialism? With the services you enjoy?

Life's choices..and you made yours,... don't complain!!

Ray, complaining is the the thing that people do around here.

I find Vernon's hypocrisy annoying at times. He makes for the perfect failed Congressional candidate.

"If you find yourself needing Social Security now (meaning your private savings isn't enough), then it s a safe bet that you would have spent it back in the day instead of accumulating it over a lifetime.

BTW, Alexander Hamilton would have found nothing to like in Donald Trump."-togor

Hey fool I don't need SS because like rayg I invested my money and never lived beyond my means. Hamilton would have liked an entrepreneur like Trump a darn sight better than the professional political class that occupy the Democrat party hierarchy especially a dimwit like their current candidate.

Good post. I love it when they say we wouldn't have saved what was taken from us by the FICA tax -- ignoring the fact that we scrimped, saved and invested all we could and are now able to live off our investments.
