What do you think of this, Sodahead? I think this person speaks the truth.

I'v been hearing those in our government talking about fixing Social Security and Medicare for years. Considering the fact that most in our government are millionaires, and other millionaires outside our government draw social security benefits from the system. I understand that (yes) they pay into social security as everyone should, But I feel that my case is a good example of the problem. I worked hands on labor for almost 30 years until my body would not let me do it anymore. I worked 40 to 60 hours a week and made around $35,000 a year. After becoming disabled I received $1,142 a month in social security benefits ($13,704 a year) a 60+% Drop in income. While the average retired millionaire will receive around $ 80,000 a month in social security benefits, and like I said i do understand that they pay into the system. And I am sure that I am not the only one that see's this to be a problem. I grew up believing that the Social Security System was put in place to help those like myself that work hard to provide for their families, Then through unfortunate events become unable to do so. With that in mind, the working class in America have to be wondering at what point do millionaires consider themselves socially secure. The average worker has to make $25,000 a year for 40 years to make $1,000,000 and most are unable to have any savings and have only bills to pay. While the Millionaires in Our Society only worries seem to be,( How can "I" be Richer ) ( The Greed in Society far out weighs Integrity or Common Sense ) How can we as Americans except that those that have (Millions) but still feel (Socially Insecure) as to draw from the Social Security System. To me this is just (Morally Wrong) and there's no trace of Common Sense in this logic. We The American People Deserve a Better Governing Body as with any successful Employees, We The American People pay those High wages for Our Government to ( Look out for us ). I mean really, Has know one thought to Do The Math. If the Social Security System was (not paying out) to those who should be feeling Socially Secure with their $Millons$ + bank accounts. = A strong Social Security System would emerge from the Greed of the Rich (and they would still be Rich) Just without the Morally Reprehensible Acts of Greed being inflected upon the Social Security System. Current TV, SMS nice ! If I can see this as a problem, then why can't the ones that we pay to catch the glitches see the problem. Lester Reeves, Battle Creek, Michigan

Why I don't support Obama

1. Health care "affordability" is a joke. Premiums have ALREADY gone up. Businesses will be DROPPING coverage for employees. The individual mandate was deemed a tax BY THE SUPREME COURT. The "Affordable Care Act" is a total failure.

2. Not only did he maintain the wars far longer than promised, he added Libya (less justification than Bush had in Iraq), along with escalation in Pakistan and Yemen. Gitmo is still open. And for this he gets the Nobel Peace Prize? Really?

3. Free access to preventative health care? For women? Only for women? Who pays for "free"? Is this paid for by the $3000 "tax penalty" on middle class people who can't afford the new "affordable" insurance?

4. "Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act"? The problem is UNEMPLOYMENT.

5. "He is promoting and investing in clean energy jobs" BY WASTING TAXPAYER DOLLARS ON SOLYNDRA.

6. Supports education by making college aid more available? I guess Obama didn't pay much attention to economics, math or accounting in college. The problem is DEBT.

7. He thinks millionaires and billionaires should pay their fair share of taxes. THE TOP 10% PAY 71% OF ALL FEDERAL INCOME TAX AS IT IS! How much more are they supposed to pay? How much more does Obama want to squander?

8. After a full term, the best Obama can do is blame Bush? As for the Titanic analogy, are we supposed to back up the ship and hit the iceberg AGAIN in November?

I didn't vote for Obama in 2008 and will not do so in 2012 either.
